The London Borough of Hackney is looking for a dynamic Capital Project Manager to join our Property and Asset Management team. This is a unique opportunity to lead multi-million-pound housing investment and capital schemes from initial inception through to successful completion. Working under the Head of Capital Delivery, you will not just manage construction; you will be instrumental in maintaining the quality, safety, and longevity of Hackney’s housing stock, directly impacting the lives of our residents. In this pivotal role, you will take ownership of the full project lifecycle. You will act as the contract administrator for framework and standalone agreements, leading site meetings, conducting technical reviews, and ensuring every project—from procurement to final sign-off—is delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest standards. You will lead a multidisciplinary team, including quantity surveyors, clerks of works, and resident liaison officers, ensuring clear communication and seamless project execution. Your technical expertise will be crucial in managing CDM requirements, risk mitigation, and ensuring all works are compliant with legislative and Council standards. Beyond the technical delivery, you will be the face and voice of the Council for your projects. You will act as an expert spokesperson, providing professional, clear, and authoritative advice to senior management, Councillors, and the public. Whether navigating complex legal enquiries or leading resident consultation meetings, your ability to articulate project goals and resolve issues will be essential. We are looking for someone who brings a degree-level qualification in a relevant discipline (or equivalent significant experience in construction and contract administration) combined with the resilience to problem-solve and the empathy to ensure our community’s needs are heard throughout the process. As a Council, our most outstanding asset is our staff, who are highly dedicated to serving our residents and committed to our goals as an organisation.
