Job title
Empty homes manager in Staffordshire
Overview of responsibilities
Hi, I'm Steve. I manage a team of 19 engineers. Our primary responsibility is to prepare empty homes for new customers at Bromford.
This involves assessing the condition of the properties and planning any necessary work. The work can range from simple decoration to major renovations, such as kitchen and bathroom refurbishments.
Additionally, we handle any alterations made by previous tenants, such as unauthorised conservatories, deciding whether to keep or remove them.
How has your career progressed?
My journey with Bromford started in a roundabout way in 2004 when I worked as a repairs engineer through a contractor. I transitioned through various contractors until Bromford decided to bring all repairs in-house in 2012.
I then joined Bromford directly and served as a team leader. A temporary opportunity enabled me to temporarily move to the health and safety team where I could build my experience further.
Throughout my time at Bromford, I've had the opportunity to manage different teams and locations, which has been both challenging and rewarding.
What do you consider the most significant benefit of working for Bromford?
One of the most significant benefits of working for Bromford is the strong sense of support and flexibility that the company provides. Throughout my career, Bromford has consistently been there for me, offering support when needed, whether it's for professional development or personal circumstances.
The company has a culture that genuinely cares about its colleagues, which is evident in how they accommodate requests for time off and provide opportunities for growth and career progression.
Bromford's ethos and way of doing things align well with my values. The company is dedicated to helping colleagues develop their careers, offering numerous opportunities for advancement.
This openness to change and encouragement to pursue new opportunities makes Bromford an ideal place for anyone looking to grow professionally. It's a place where I feel valued and appreciated, and I genuinely enjoy being part of the team.
