Job description

Contracts Manager (Surveyor) – Healthy Homes

Goodman Masson is delighted to be partnering with Local Space, an ambitious and values-driven housing association, to recruit a Contracts Surveyor – Healthy Homes.

This is an excellent opportunity to join an organisation with a genuine social purpose, helping to provide safe, high-quality homes for people experiencing homelessness across London and Essex.

As part of an ambitious Asset Delivery team, you'll play a vital role in ensuring residents live in safe, healthy homes by leading the delivery of damp & mould remediation and Healthy Homes repairs, ensuring compliance with evolving legislation including Awaab's Law.

The Opportunity

Reporting to the Operations Manager – Responsive Repairs, you'll take ownership of the technical delivery and contract management of Healthy Homes and damp & mould cases from diagnosis through to completion.

Working closely with contractors, residents and internal stakeholders, you'll ensure repairs are delivered safely, efficiently and to the highest quality, while providing an outstanding customer experience throughout.

Why this role stands out

• Take ownership of a high-profile service that directly improves residents' health, wellbeing and quality of life.
• Play a key role in delivering Healthy Homes initiatives and ensuring compliance with Awaab's Law.
• Combine technical surveying with contract management, giving you genuine variety in your role.
• Diagnose building defects and influence long-term solutions rather than simply managing repairs.
• Work closely with contractors to drive performance, quality and continuous improvement.
• Join an organisation with a strong social purpose and ambitious growth plans.
• Enjoy hybrid working, excellent benefits and the opportunity to make a tangible impact every day.
