How would you like to make the step up to join Rochdale council as our new Head of Building Control Services?
You'll be leading a great team of highly professional Registered Building Inspectors and support staff who are passionate about the service they deliver and whose work was recognised at the 2024 annual LABC Awards and our own council 'ACE Awards'. As a result, we have a strong public and private client base and can provide you with the opportunity to work on a wide variety of exciting commercial projects across the borough and further afield including for the BSR. We have also invested in a new IT solution giving you the opportunity to also be involved in digital transformation and develop new ways of working with the team.
More broadly, the council has an exciting regeneration agenda and are a significant economic growth opportunity for Greater Manchester and the wider North West region. We are already delivering on our plans to create over one million square metres of employment space, 20,000 jobs, and 10,000 new homes connected by new and enhanced infrastructure and transport links in Atom Valley and have ambitious regeneration plans for our town centres. Home to 8,000 businesses, the Atom Valley Mayoral Development Zone, Northern Gateway and Rochdale Rail Corridor - the scale of opportunity is huge and so there has never been a better time to join us.
In terms of candidates, we are seeking an experienced Class 3/4 Registered Building Inspector / Technical Manager who can demonstrate strong team management skills, commercial focus and ideally experience of working in a local authority setting. You'll also have the skills necessary to support our sports ground SAG function and be able to undertake out of hours work on a rota basis with the wider team in respect of dangerous buildings (for which we pay an additional allowance).
In return, we can offer a highly competitive salary, generous leave entitlement and payment of professional fees and BSR registration costs. You'll also work from our award winning offices in the heart of the town centre within the Rochdale Riverside development which has seen over £400m invested to deliver offices, homes, new hotel and high quality retail and leisure facilities.
