About the Role
C~urb is looking for an accomplished operational leader to become the next Managing Director of C~urb Property Maintenance, leading one of Scotland’s largest in-house property maintenance operations through the next stage of its development.
Part of the Link Group of companies, C~urb Property Maintenance has grown significantly since its establishment in 2013. Today, it is a mature and successful operation, employing around 300 people and delivering approximately £30m of property maintenance activity each year. The business is well established, with experienced operational teams, strong customer service and a workforce that takes real pride in the services it provides. The opportunity for the new Managing Director is to build on those foundations, bringing commercial discipline, embracing digital transformation, improving efficiency and productivity, and ensuring the business is ready to take advantage of future growth opportunities.
Reporting to Link Group Executive Director, Commercial and C~urb CEO, you will provide visible leadership across a substantial directly employed workforce delivering responsive and void repairs planned and cyclical maintenance, compliance and wider property investment services.
At the heart of the role will be the leadership of a large and complex property maintenance operation.
We are looking for someone who understands what it takes to manage a significant directly employed, multi-trade workforce and who can bring immediate credibility to an experienced senior management team.
You will lead an operation encompassing a broad range of trades and technical disciplines, ensuring resources are effectively planned, scheduled and deployed while maintaining high standards of safety, quality and customer service.
C~urb is already a strong and successful operation. The opportunity for the new Managing Director is to build on these foundations and take the business to its next level of performance – driving greater efficiency and productivity while continuing to deliver outstanding service, customer satisfaction and value for money.
You will also play a central role in the next stage of C~urb’s digital transformation. Work has already begun, but there is significant opportunity for the new Managing Director to shape how technology, systems, data and improved ways of working can transform productivity, scheduling, performance information and importantly, the customer experience.
Commercial development will be an important part of the role. Building on C~urb Property Maintenance’s strong position within Link Group, you will ensure the business is well placed to pursue appropriate opportunities for external growth. This will mean strengthening the systems, workforce, ways of working and the commercial approach needed to compete effectively, while continuing to deliver high-quality services and demonstrable value for money for Link Group and its partners.
About You
We are open-minded about where you have developed your career. You may currently be working within property maintenance, construction, housing, facilities management or a related contracting environment. What matters most is the scale and relevance of your operational leadership experience.
Crucially, we are looking for someone who has significant experience of leading a directly employed trades workforce at scale. Experience focused predominantly on procuring or managing external contractors is unlikely, on its own, to provide the operational depth required for this appointment.
You will be able to demonstrate:
- Significant senior leadership experience within a large and complex property maintenance, repairs, construction, FM or related operation.
- A strong track record of directly leading substantial operational and multi-trade workforces.
- Experience of improving operational performance, productivity and efficiency while maintaining service quality.
- Commercial acumen and an understanding of how to develop a competitive and sustainable maintenance business.
- Experience of leading meaningful business transformation and continuous improvement.
Remuneration
The remuneration package includes a car allowance of £500 per month for the use of your own car in the performance of your duties (subject to applicable tax and statutory deductions).
