We're a housing association…that's the obvious way to label us and of course you're not wrong. But you might also think of us as a commercially successful business with 29% operating surplus, a portfolio of over 35,000 homes worth c.£4billion, with a real focus on and dedication to providing quality services to the people living in them.
If you see us as the latter, we want you to join us as our Senior Asset Investment Manager (Retrofit) and lead the strategic delivery of retrofit projects, ensuring they are cost-effective, compliant, and sustainable. You will oversee a team of Contract Managers, drive energy efficiency improvements, and ensure that Midland Heart's property portfolio meets Band C by 2030.
You'll be responsible for:

• Retrofit Strategy & Implementation – Overseeing a thorough assessment of properties to identify energy efficiency opportunities.
• Project & Budget Management – Managing budgets, forecasts, and project timelines, ensuring all projects meet financial and sustainability targets.
• Regulatory Compliance & Standards – Ensuring full compliance with PAS 2035, retrofit legislation, and grant funding requirements.
• Stakeholder & Contractor Management – Leading collaboration with contractors, consultants, and tenants to deliver smooth project execution.
• Performance & Technical Oversight – Identifying and resolving technical issues, ensuring high-quality outcomes that meet contract SLAs and KPIs.
• Continuous Improvement & Innovation – Keeping up-to-date with emerging retrofit measures, funding streams, and sector best practices.
• Out-of-Hours Support – Participating in the on-call/standby rota to ensure emergency response as required.

Our ideal candidate? Your CV and covering letter will highlight that you:

• Hold a relevant HNC or equivalent and/or possess significant technical experience in construction or maintenance related contract management.
• Have proven experience of maintenance contract management in a commercial or residential setting.
• Have experience and understanding of compliance legislation and strong knowledge of contract law.
• Are an experienced people manager, with a proven ability to lead and motivate your team to achieve challenging targets and objectives, using your excellent communication skills and ability to build strong professional relationships.

We operate Smart Working practices, through which colleagues deliver services from the location their best delivered on any given day. The successful candidate should therefore expect to work from a Midland Heart site a minimum of 3 days per week, with the remainder worked remotely.
