The service currently has a considerable backlog of outstanding repairs and you will play a key role in tackling this work and being proactive in motivating the teams to achieve targets and deadlines to realise these goals.

Our focus on customer service makes this work rewarding as we are able to deliver housing improvements to residents across our city.
