It’s a senior Azure/cloud architecture role sitting across solution design, governance and delivery. You’d act as the technical authority for cloud and infrastructure solutions, reviewing designs, challenging risk/cost/supportability, and making sure solutions are secure, resilient and fit for purpose.

It’s also quite customer-facing and commercially aware — supporting bids and workshops, shaping solutions and SoWs, presenting decisions to senior stakeholders, and helping set the standards and guardrails that engineering teams work to.

From project inception to completion, they are committed to delivering excellence at every stage. 

They are recruiting for an Operations Manager to take ownership of the contracts they deliver in the region: resourcing them properly, keeping them under control, and making sure each one is performing for the client, You own delivery and the people.

The person appointed will have a lot of autonomy, direct access to the owners, and a genuine say in how the operation is set up as it grows.

Duties:

• Running the contracts. Day-to-day control of every contract in your area - responsive repairs, voids, planned works and any larger projects - including the emergency service outside normal hours. Knowing where each contract stands at any point without having to go and ask.
• Resourcing. Making sure each contract has the right trades, supervision and support behind it, and moving people and subcontractors between contracts as the workload shifts. Recruiting ahead of demand so a new contract can mobilise without stripping the ones already running.
• Performance. Hitting the KPIs and SLAs we've agreed on each contract - attendance times, completion within target, first-time fix, resident satisfaction, complaints. Knowing the numbers week to week and dealing with problems before they end up in a client report.
• People. Leading the supervisors, schedulers, admin team, directly employed operatives and subcontractors across the region. Setting standards, dealing with performance issues properly, and keeping good people.
• Commercial. Working hand in hand with the Commercial Manager on cost, margin, variations, valuations and applications for payment. Feeding them accurate information from the ground, and acting on what they feed back. Keeping an eye on productivity, van stock and subcontractor spend.
• Safety and compliance. Health and safety on every job, every day, liaising with our H&S manager. Compliance with CDM,asbestos, gas and electrical regulations, and our own systems. Audits, toolbox talks, near-miss reporting and site inspections that actually happen, on every contract.
• Clients. Being the main operational contact for each client - performance meetings, resident escalations, quality issues. Building the kind of relationships that lead to more work.
• Mobilisation. Taking a lead on getting new contracts up and running: staffing, scheduling, systems, materials, the first few weeks of delivery. We're winning work regularly, so this will be a recurring part of the job rather than a one-off.
• Improvement. Making the operation better over time: how jobs are scheduled

Key Skills:

• Currently doing an Operations Manager, Repairs Manager or Contracts Manager role in responsive maintenance, or ready to step up from a senior supervisor or project lead role in the same field.
   
• Proven experience running framework contracts for housing association or local authority clients, ideally across more than one contract at once. You'll know what good looks like and what the client will pick up on.
   
• A track record of resourcing contracts properly - planning labour ahead, managing subcontractors and keeping control when the workload moves around.
• Managed a mixed team of directly employed trades and subcontractors, and comfortable having difficult conversations when needed.
   
• Commercially switched on - understands margin, variations and what drives cost on a repairs contract, and can work closely with a commercial lead rather than around them.
   
• Strong on health and safety. SMSTS or equivalent, and a working knowledge of the regulations that matter in occupied homes.
• Confident with clients. Can present performance data, explain a problem honestly and agree a way forward.
• Based in or within easy reach of the Midlands, with a full UK driving licence.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with a Tier 1 property services contractor or a large housing association client.
• Trade background, or an HNC/HND in a construction-related discipline.

• Contract administration. Knowing the contracts signed - terms, payment mechanisms, KPIs with a financial consequence, notice periods, retention. Flagging areas of exposure and making sure obligations are achieved

• take ownership of the Group external audit and statutory reporting process
• 3 months – think more £500
• Person owning the project – year end financial accounts – submitted at the end of jan
• Consolidating stat accounts and running the team
• Roling up sleeves
• £500m turnover
• Uk, NA & APAC – consolidate entities
• Software house or equivalent – IFRS15 – look for that
• Might go to Dudley
• Ideally multi region experience
• Close of play on Monday

Chat GPT overview:

It’s a 3-month Group Finance Manager contract with Civica, the software group.

The main focus is taking ownership of the Group external audit and year-end statutory reporting process through to completion at the end of January.

Civica is around £500m turnover with entities across the UK, North America and APAC, so they need someone who is comfortable consolidating a multi-entity, multi-region group and coordinating the different finance teams and external auditors.

It’s very much a hands-on role rather than just overseeing the process — preparing and reviewing consolidated statutory accounts, dealing with audit queries and technical accounting papers, and rolling your sleeves up to get the year-end accounts completed.

They’re particularly interested in someone from a software/SaaS business, or another environment with complex revenue recognition, so IFRS 15 experience is important.

They’re thinking around £500 per day, initially for three months. It’s largely remote, although there may occasionally be a requirement to get to Dudley.

“They basically need someone who can come in, pick up the year-end project and own it through to sign-off.”
