Of course, experience and track record are important, but we're more interested in hiring someone that embodies our People Promises. That's someone that does the right thing, is enthusiastic and motivated to grow, believes in Community spirit, is respectful and enjoys their work. As the UK's leading Social Enterprise we're dedicated to creating inclusive and thriving Communities for both our Customers and Employees.

So, what are you waiting for? Join a community that cares about you!

More about your role

As a Technical Manager, you'll play a key role within our Regional Technical Team, reporting to the Senior Technical Manager. You'll be responsible for coordinating technical design information and managing the performance of external consultants, ensuring the accuracy and quality of strategies, specifications, and technical documentation across a range of residential developments.

You'll lead the technical approvals process, including Building Control, planning conditions, statutory approvals, warranties and utility agreements. You'll also oversee road and sewer adoptions, easements and other legal and technical agreements required to support project delivery.

Working across multiple live schemes, you'll be involved throughout the full development lifecycle, from pre-construction through to project completion and handover. Collaboration is central to the role, and you'll work closely with colleagues across Commercial, Construction and Sales to ensure high-quality technical information supports the successful delivery of every project.

We're particularly interested in candidates who have worked on multi-tenure schemes and can demonstrate successful coordination of technical information through all stages of the development process.

You'll have a solid understanding of different construction methods, current legislation and approval processes, alongside experience managing consultants and technical stakeholders. A proactive and collaborative approach is essential, as is a genuine passion for delivering high-quality homes and creating thriving communities. Experience working on larger or more complex residential developments would be advantageous.

Benefits

We are a large diverse and ambitious business, which will give you all the challenge you could wish for.

- Access to a rewards platform with retail and lifestyle discounts
- Savings on groceries, travel, shopping and home products
- Ongoing training and development opportunities
- Access to professional qualifications and career progression
- Internal development programmes and learning support
- Recognition schemes such as Star Awards and Colleagues Awards
- Strong focus on inclusion, wellbeing and colleague engagement

Safeguarding

At Places for People, safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. We are committed to creating safe communities for our customers and colleagues by protecting children, young people, and adults at risk from harm, abuse, and neglect.

We follow robust safeguarding policies and procedures, ensuring all employees, volunteers, and contractors uphold the highest standards of safeguarding and accountability. Our recruitment process includes pre-employment checks, including Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks where applicable, to promote a safe and secure working environment.

By joining Places for People, you are expected to contribute to our safeguarding culture, following our policies and reporting concerns to protect those in our communities

Armed Forces - We are proud to support the Armed Forces Covenant. Places for People will guarantee an interview for any candidate who is serving or has formerly served in the Armed Forces, as a reservist, armed forces veteran (including the wounded, injured and sick), cadet instructor and military spouse/partner and who meets the essential criteria for the vacancy.

Neurodivergent – Neurodiverse individuals have highly valuable skills, and we recognise that a traditional interview process sometimes works against them and doesn’t allow them to self-advocate. Neurodiverse applicants who meet the criteria for a vacancy will be guaranteed an interview.
