About the role
Wouldn’t it be nice to work locally in Brighton & Hove rather than commute?
We are seeking a motivated manager to work with our Property & Design Division’s Education Premises Team.
Together with the in-house building surveyors and facilities managers of the Council, you will create and carry out the yearly programme of planned and term maintenance for the city’s maintained school buildings.
You will visit schools on a regular basis to provide maintenance-related guidance and support, as well as to offer suggestions. You will help determine whether land or property has to be acquired or disposed of, obtain permission for leases, licences, and wayleaves, and keep accurate records of school buildings, land, and property. Policies and processes for corporate asset management will benefit from your contribution. In certain health and safety domains, such asbestos and legionella, you will assume the lead role.
You will possess the necessary expertise in property management, budget creation and oversight, teamwork, health and safety, adaptability, effective communication, IT, and organisational abilities, as well as the capacity to function under duress.
