About Haringey

Haringey is a fantastic place to live and work – the world in one borough. A place brimming with creativity, personality, radicalism, and community. It is a place where we stand up for each other. A place that is proudly distinctive. We’ll be celebrating all this and more as the “rebel borough” when we are the 2027 London Borough of Culture.

Our history champions change-makers and everyday rebels; revelling in our differences, battling discrimination, championing equality, and doing things our own way. Haringey’s people are a huge asset, with knowledge, expertise, and passion. Our staff members embody our organisational values: Caring, Creative, Courageous, Collaborative and Community-focused. These values keep us looking forward, ambitious for the future, and continuously striving to do our very best for all of our residents.

About the role

This role leads the delivery of capital investment projects across Haringey’s council housing stock, managing a portfolio of works valued at up to £10 million per year. You’ll oversee projects from initial brief through to completion, ensuring they meet high standards, stay on programme and budget, and comply with all statutory, regulatory and contractual requirements. A key part of the role involves commissioning and managing contractors and consultants, monitoring performance through KPIs and financial reporting, and ensuring robust project documentation is maintained. You’ll also play a central role in resident engagement, developing communication plans, attending meetings, and ensuring residents are kept informed and satisfied throughout the process.

About the team

You’ll join the Asset Management team within Haringey’s Placemaking and Housing directorate, working closely with colleagues across Housing Property Services, Building Safety, Procurement, Legal, Finance and other enabling services. The team is responsible for delivering the council’s annual housing investment programme, valued at up to £40 million, and is committed to improving the quality, safety and sustainability of homes across the borough. Collaboration is at the heart of how the team works — you’ll be supported by experienced project managers, senior leaders and technical specialists, and will contribute to a culture focused on continuous improvement, resident-centred delivery and strong partnership working.

About you

You bring proven experience managing complex construction or housing investment projects, ideally up to £10 million in value, with a strong understanding of building contracts, contractor management and major works programmes. You’re confident working with residents, resolving complaints and communicating clearly with a wide range of stakeholders, including senior managers and elected members. You combine strategic thinking with strong organisational skills, attention to detail and the ability to maintain high-quality project administration. You’ll be comfortable managing budgets, navigating contractual issues and ensuring compliance with statutory and leaseholder requirements. A relevant qualification — such as an HND, degree or specialist construction/project management accreditation — is essential, along with a commitment to delivering value for money and excellent outcomes for residents.
