Asset Renewal Lead

Description

Role Purpose

We are looking for an experienced and delivery-focused Asset Renewal Lead to lead our national asset recycling programme, ensuring vacant units are assessed, scoped and returned to a safe, compliant and letting-ready standard at pace.

The role is accountable for the end-to-end delivery of works from handback and initial assessment through scope approval, contractor instruction, completion, snagging and handover to Lettings. You will maintain a clear pipeline, prioritise fast-track opportunities and ensure each unit is progressed against agreed cost, quality and turnaround targets.

You will lead and manage the Asset Renewal Managers, work closely with Asset Management, Estate Management, Leasing and consultant teams, and provide the practical programme oversight needed to resolve blockers quickly. This is a hands-on role requiring sound judgement on scope, standards, cost and delivery, alongside accurate reporting and disciplined governance.

Key Accountabilities

Key Accountabilities

  • Lead the national asset-recycling programme, moving vacant units efficiently from customer handback to a safe, compliant and letting-ready condition.
  • Maintain oversight of the live pipeline and agree priorities with Asset Management, including fast-track units, arch examinations and other time-critical works.
  • Own the end-to-end process for simple works, including initial assessment, site visits, scope agreement, budget approval, contractor instruction, delivery, snagging, completion and handover.
  • Lead, support and coordinate the Asset Renewal Managers, allocating work clearly, monitoring delivery and providing practical guidance and cover where required.
  • Review and challenge scopes to ensure works are proportionate, commercially justified and aligned with the agreed reletting standard, avoiding unnecessary or abortive expenditure.
  • Control project budgets, contingencies, purchase orders, commitments and variations, ensuring approvals are obtained and financial information remains accurate and current.
  • Manage contractor and consultant performance, ensuring works are properly instructed, delivered to the required quality and programme, and supported by complete certification, warranties and project records.
  • Identify and resolve delivery blockers, including access, utilities, surveys, asbestos information, scope changes, contractor performance and operational dependencies, escalating where necessary.
  • Produce accurate programme reporting covering pipeline and completions, turnaround times whilst maintaining robust governance, electronic project records and ensuring compliance requirements are embedded throughout delivery.
  • Forecast completion and letting-ready dates, cost, yield on cost, quality, risks and exceptions.
  • Work closely with Asset Management, Estate Management and Lettings to agree priorities, standards and customer-related requirements, and to ensure proposed works support reletting and income generation.
  • Review performance and completed projects to identify lessons, improve processes, and drive consistent standards, better value and faster turnaround across the programme.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for an experienced programme or project delivery manager with a strong track record of managing high-volume, multi-site property works, ideally involving vacant-unit refurbishment, reletting or stock recycling.

You will bring:

  • Programme Management or PMO-related experience, preferably in a property, construction or real estate background.
  • Practical experience of procuring and delivering refurbishment or reletting works through contractors and consultants; a relevant property, construction or project-management qualification is desirable.
  • Strong understanding of project controls, contractor management, health and safety, CDM, change control, financial control, value engineering and quality assurance.
  • A track record of delivering works across a large number of live sites, balancing urgency with appropriate technical, commercial and compliance controls.
  • Strong Excel and reporting capability, with confidence using project and property systems to maintain accurate pipeline, cost and performance information.
  • Ability to lead and coordinate colleagues while remaining personally involved in complex scopes, approvals, escalations and delivery decisions.
  • Sound commercial judgement, including the ability to challenge scope and cost, assess value for money and make proportionate repair-versus-replace decisions.
  • Clear and confident communication with Asset Management, Lettings, contractors, consultants and senior stakeholders, with the ability to resolve issues quickly and constructively.
  • High attention to detail, with disciplined management of budgets, approvals, programme dates, certifications, warranties and handover records.
  • Excellent organisation and prioritisation skills, with the resilience to manage competing demands in a fast-moving, delivery-focused environment.
  • Degree-level education, a relevant professional qualification, or equivalent practical experience in property or construction delivery.

We're looking for someone who is:

  • Commercially minded — spots value where others see a line item to write off, and builds the case to release it.
  • Structured — brings programme discipline to a portfolio-wide initiative, not just individual transactions.
  • Proactive — anticipates stakeholder needs and proposes solutions rather than waiting to be asked.
  • Resilient — thrives on their own initiative within a pressured, fast-moving environment.
  • Collaborative — works effectively across Finance, Capital Projects, Building Surveying and Consultant teams.
  • Relentless about improvement — challenges the status quo and constantly pursues better outcomes.
  • Approachable — engaging and confidence-inspiring, the kind of person who strengthens a team just by being part of it.

This is a high-visibility, high-impact role with genuine scope to influence how the portfolio releases and reinvests value — your programme discipline and commercial judgement will directly shape the pace and quality of our capital programme.
