Are you passionate about using data to drive real change in housing, sustainability, and asset performance? Do you want your work to directly support Net Zero targets and improve the quality of homes across our communities?
We are looking for an Asset Management Officer to join our Property Services Directorate and play a key role in shaping our long-term asset strategy.

About the role

As an Asset Management Officer, you’ll use high-quality data and insight to support effective, efficient management of our housing stock. You’ll help ensure our homes remain safe, sustainable, and well‑maintained—now and for the future.

Working closely with the Property Asset Manager, you’ll maintain and improve our asset data systems, ensuring integrity across multiple platforms. Your work will support the planning and delivery of short, medium and long‑term investment programmes, including our journey to EPC C by 2030, 100% Decent Homes, and Net Zero Carbon by 2050.

What you’ll do

• Keep asset and property data accurate and up to date, using completion reports and other key information.
• Build and maintain processes and KPIs that support performance monitoring across all asset functions, including Net Zero initiatives.
• Use robust data insights to help secure grant funding for sustainability and improvement projects.
• Support development of investment programmes, including NPV modelling, scenario analysis and linkage to 5‑year budget profiling.
• Identify poorly performing assets and support strategic decision-making.
• Ensure strong data integrity across all systems and collaborate with data owners to identify, investigate and resolve issues.
• Escalate urgent risks and data concerns appropriately, championing a culture of “safety first.”

About you

You’ll bring a sharp eye for detail and a passion for data-driven decision-making. You’ll thrive in a busy environment and enjoy influencing positive change through reliable information and well‑designed processes.

We’re looking for:

• Experience in a similar data-focused role, ideally within asset or property management.
• Advanced Excel skills, including VLOOKUP, pivot tables and complex formulas.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to work proactively to meet tight deadlines.
• Knowledge of asset portfolio management, social housing regulations, Decent Homes standards and energy efficiency targets.
• Understanding of building pathology and repair/maintenance processes (desirable).
• A degree-level qualification or equivalent experience; Housing/Business/Finance qualifications are a bonus.
