Are you a driven and experienced professional ready to make a difference in housing safety and compliance? Cornwall Housing Limited is looking for a passionate expert to lead and manage our Mechanical, Electrical (M&E), Lift, and specialist equipment services. This pivotal role will ensure all servicing and repairs, including gas, oil, renewable energy systems, solid fuel appliances, and electrical testing, is delivered efficiently and legally across our housing stock. You’ll be responsible for achieving 100% statutory compliance in heating servicing and for protecting our tenants by maintaining the highest safety standards. As our go-to expert, you’ll lead a team of supervisors and specialists, ensure high-performing contractor relationships, and drive capital improvement programmes aligned with our business plans and the asset management strategy for Heating and Electrical upgrades to ensure decent homes standards are achieved.
In this dynamic role, you’ll also head up our No Access team, playing a crucial role in overcoming access challenges for compliance inspections and upgrades. This involves close collaboration with Housing Management and Rents income colleagues to ensure legal procedures are followed where access has been refused. You’ll be the cornerstone of CHL’s risk management and compliance approach, ensuring systems are not only legally compliant but also forward-thinking and tenant focused. Your leadership will support the continuous improvement of service delivery, performance management, and the development of cost-effective, customer-centric solutions that put residents first.
If you thrive on leading teams, driving change, and improving housing safety at scale, this is your opportunity to make a lasting impact. You’ll take ownership of operational delivery, budget control, and strategic direction of planned M&E and Lift programmes. Whether preparing for heating upgrades to meet Decent Homes Standards or overseeing CDM-compliant site operations, your expertise will ensure CHL properties remain safe, efficient, and future-ready. Join us in creating better, safer homes for Cornwall.
