Why Manchester…

Manchester is often ranked as one of the best cities in the world to live within international media circles, with ‘nightlife’, ‘creativity’, ‘community spirit’, ‘friendliness’ and ‘getting to know your neighbours’ top of the list. We are home to the UK’s largest indoor arena, its second largest international airport, major sporting venues, great public transport options, and is right in the heart of the nation’s motorway network. On our doorstep are National Parks, areas of outstanding natural beauty and stunning coastlines. Within the City, our 555,000+ residents live in every kind of housing from modern residential skyscrapers, traditional Victorian terraced neighbourhoods, to leafy suburban districts.

The Building Control Service in Manchester has a key role to play in the evolution of our City, making sure developments are high-quality, safe, inclusive, and sustainable. If you share Manchester’s clear ambitions in delivering high quality developments, and safe and secure environments in the city, we want to hear from you.

If you’re successful, you’ll join a team of Building Control professionals pushing forward a high standard of healthy, safe, sustainable, and accessible buildings within the City.

What you can expect from us…

• Monthly essential-user car allowance of £83.65 (1000cc +vehicle) plus a per-mile allowance for all business miles travelled
• A fully funded city-centre car parking space
• A generous financial reward for each week you take part in the out-of-hours standby rota, including a minimum weekly allowance of £424.80 plus fixed allowances and overtime payments for any incidents attended
• Professional membership subscriptions paid (e.g. CABE, RICS, CIOB, etc.)

• A great working environment within the stunning Town Hall offices, right in the heart of the city, plus a pragmatic approach to home-working
• We will help you develop your career by providing development and support whatever your level of experience
• A host of health & wellbeing benefits – e.g. Employee Assistance Programme, gym discounts and Cycle to Work Scheme
• Membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme with generous employer contribution into a defined benefit pension, with life cover and the option to build additional voluntary contributions via salary sacrifice arrangements
• Up to 3 days (paid) volunteering leave for rewarding work opportunities within the city & community

We are an Equal Opportunities Employer and we positively welcome applications from all candidates regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation.

You’ll be able to show that you have the relevant knowledge and experience of Building Control, with particular emphasis on the scrutiny of designs and inspection of work of small scale residential developments, gained within either a Local Authority or Approved Inspector setting. You will be able to contribute to our service delivery and manage your own workload, and lead on small scale residential schemes in your allocated area of Manchester.

Ideally you will be a chartered member of an appropriate Building Control related professional organisation (e.g. CABE, RICS, CIOB), but if you are still working towards this, and have suitable experience, we’d still love to hear from you.

Your role:

The GMCA has an exciting opportunity for a Senior Performance and Contracts Manager to join its award-winning Retrofit Team in the Environment Directorate.

The role will support a team delivering over £100m of housing retrofit measures to help meet the targets in the Greater Manchester 5-year Environment Plan and Retrofit Action Plan which are aiming to make Greater Manchester carbon neutral by 2038.

A key focus of the role will be to support the delivery of major government funded schemes, such as the Local Energy Advice Demonstrator (LEAD), Energy Company Obligation (ECO), Warm Homes: Local Grant (WHLG), and Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund (WHSHF).

The energy efficiency improvements and low carbon heating systems installed through these schemes will result in homes that are cheaper to heat, more comfortable to live in, and have less impact on the environment.

About you:

The GMCA is seeking an individual with experience of working as part of a project delivery team who can take on responsibility for all aspects of performance and contract management to ensure that projects are successfully commissioned, implemented, and delivered on time and within budget.

A commitment to partnership working is essential, as you will work closely with government departments, local authorities, registered providers of social housing, contractors, and a wide range of local partners. Most importantly, we are looking for an individual with a passion for tackling climate change and fuel poverty, as this retrofit-focussed role is an excellent opportunity to have a direct impact on these issues.

The role requires significant knowledge of ECO funding, including the requirements of the energy companies and installers. It also requires extensive experience of housing retrofit, including the technical requirements of PAS2035, PAS2030, MCS, and TrustMark. Therefore, the post is ideal for an individual with considerable experience of checking on compliance and confidently challenging contractors in meetings and at regular site visits to ensure best practice is followed and high standards are maintained.

About us:

As an employer, the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) is made up of a number of key Greater Manchester strategic functions and service providers including; Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS); Waste and Resources; Environment; Work and Skills; Research; Public Sector Reform; Police, Crime and Criminal Justice; Homelessness; the Greater Manchester Ageing Hub and the Commissioning Hub.

We value the diversity of our employees, and aim to recruit a workforce which reflects our diverse communities across Greater Manchester. We encourage applications from all suitably qualified individuals, irrespective of people's age, disability, Trans status and Non-binary identity, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation. We have guidance in place to ensure that all applicants are treated fairly and consistently at every stage of the recruitment process, including the consideration of reasonable adjustments for people who have a disability.
