Repair and Maintenance Manager - Hybrid Working - Local Authority

I'm partnering with Dorset Council to appoint an R&M Maintenance Manager to join its Assets & Property team during an exciting period of transformation and investment. This is a key leadership role responsible for maintaining and improving Dorset Council's operational estate, including offices, libraries, depots and front line service buildings. Leading a team of Repairs & Maintenance Surveyors, you'll ensure assets remain safe, compliant and fit for purpose while driving improvements in maintenance performance and asset condition. Key responsibilities include:

• Leading a team of property and maintenance professionals
• Managing planned and reactive maintenance programmes
• Ensuring statutory compliance and building safety across the estate
• Overseeing contractor and consultant performance
• Managing budgets and maintenance investment programmes
• Reducing maintenance backlog and improving asset performance
• Supporting Dorset Council's long-term asset strategy and sustainability objectives If you are an experienced property professional from backgrounds including Building Surveying, Estates Management, Property Maintenance, Asset Management or Facilities Management, then this could be the role for you. You'll bring experience of managing maintenance programmes, compliance obligations, contractors and technical teams across a diverse property portfolio, alongside strong stakeholder management and leadership skills. This is an excellent opportunity to join a forward-thinking local authority and play a significant role in shaping the future of its operational estate.
