About Us:

Work with our residents as you manage a number of high value housing projects 

At the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, we put local people and businesses at the heart of everything we do, working in partnership with them to provide quality services that are responsive, effective and efficient. Committed to acting with openness, honesty, compassion and humility, we aim to listen and understand in a way that is respectful, encourages involvement and meets the needs of all our communities.

The Role:

We’re currently looking for two Capital Delivery Managers to join our Capital Delivery Department within Housing Management and take responsibility for a team delivering a portfolio of individual contracts and call-off projects. Working and collaborating closely with residents, associations and senior management to ensure a fully integrated approach is achieved, you’ll monitor and report on programme slippages, mitigate action and cost profiles, and ensure all cost variations are fully reconciled and the necessary approvals obtained.

Join us in the Major Works role and you’ll oversee a number of large, high value schemes with multiple issues and solutions to manage and look after the relevant Project Management Team. The Special Projects role will involve working with your team, residents and local groups, with a particular focus on high priority Capital Delivery schemes for the Council to work towards addressing the Councils need for Decent Homes compliance and high value remediation of tower blocks of special importance. Both roles will be vital in contributing to making our residents safe and secure in their homes and neighbourhoods.
