JOB PURPOSE:

As the Project Officer at Queens Cross Housing Association, you’ll be responsible for overseeing the delivery of capital investment and development projects across our housing stock.

• Support procurement processes and contractor management
• Monitor project performance, budgets, and compliance
• Liaise effectively with design teams, contractors, consultants, and tenants
• Maintain project documentation and reporting to key stakeholders
• Champion health & safety, sustainability, and inclusive design in all projects

Essential criteria:

• Minimum of 3 years’ experience in delivering property or construction projects
• HNC (or equivalent) in construction management, surveying, or related discipline
• Proven track record of working with contractors and consultants to deliver high-quality outcomes
• Strong IT and communication skills, with the ability to analyse information and produce clear reports
