About the role
In this post you will be responsible for the implementation, management, and delivery of all electrical, fire detection, door entry, lifts, CCTV and digital TV installation utilising the Council’s supply chain partners. This includes repair, maintenance, and major projects of existing and new installations to Council housing stock.
About you
You will be responsible for managing a range of electrical works and projects from inception through to completion, working on your own initiative with minimal supervision. Duties will include budget management, the preparation of specifications and drawings, procurement and contract administration, and the management of electrical programmes of work relating to the Council's housing stock.
Ideally, you will hold a degree in Building Surveying or a related discipline. Alternatively, you will have substantial relevant experience in a similar Mechanical and Electrical role, supported by an HNC/HND in Building Surveying, Construction, or a relevant electrical qualification. You will possess detailed knowledge of building defects and associated remedial solutions, together with experience of delivering property-related projects.
A sound working knowledge of housing-related legislation, regulations and best practice relating to repairs, maintenance and capital improvements is essential. This includes an understanding of CDM Regulations, Building Regulations and other relevant compliance requirements.
St Albans is a unique English Cathedral City with a colourful history which can be seen in the Roman remains and variety of beautiful architecture, heritage sites and conservation areas. Set within green belt, off the M25, A1M and M1 the District includes a cathedral, vibrant city centre and thriving villages. Our centrally located offices in the city are near to the station (London St Pancras 20 minutes), shops and restaurants. In short it is a great place to live and work.
In addition to working within a great team and a comprehensive salary you will have access to:
28.5 days basic annual leave (increasing with service) + bank holidays.
Please note: annual leave will be pro-rated for anyone who does not have a standard full-time pattern of 37 hours over 5 days, e.g. part-timers
