With us you will have a day filled with variety, and you will, as a bridge-builder between the administration and the housing associations, navigate in a politically governed world.

You know that close relationships yield the best results, and as you will lead 4 property managers, it is crucial that you are a skilled and present leader.

The Regional Office East Zealand is located in Ishøj.

Your role

In collaboration with the property managers, your core task is to ensure stable and efficient operations and ensure good maintenance of the housing departments in close cooperation with the resident-elected boards. As a starting point, there will be 4 smaller housing associations that will make up the portfolio for the position.

Your collaboration with the resident-elected boards will be crucial, as they have the decisive say in larger investments and strategic directions for the housing departments. You must balance the different opinions and attitudes, and be good at building, maintaining and retaining relationships.

• Leadership
• Develop operating and maintenance plans
• Lead on renovation projects
• Budgeting and budget follow-up

You will be part of a cross-disciplinary team consisting of a board consultant, a finance consultant and a department secretary. You also have access to specialists including construction and law.

Who are you

You are outgoing, proactive, and take initiative, while being good at creating and maintaining relationships. You can keep an overview even when it is busy, and you want to delve into new tasks and situations and communicate clearly and understandably.

Two days rarely look the same, and you must be able to shift focus from planned tasks to what arises along the way. Therefore it is important that you are flexible, structured and can continuously prioritize your tasks.

You have a crafts or construction background, for example as a building designer or other practical experience in construction. If you also have experience with facility management and budget control, that is a plus. You understand the special framework conditions that characterize a politically governed environment where resident democracy is central, and where it is the board that has the final decision-making authority.
