Job Description
About the Role
The Guinness Partnership is looking to recruit a Contract Officer to join a busy team on a full-time, nine-month fixed-term contract, based in Oldham.
We currently offer hybrid working, blending 3 office days with 2 days working from home.
What We Are Looking For
The successful candidate will join the Fire Risk and Compliance team within our Asset Management directorate.
This is an exciting opportunity which requires a strong, proven background in managing the relationship, performance, and legal obligations of the contractors delivering our fire safety requirements in relation to recommendations from fire risk assessments. You must have the ability to work to tight deadlines and prioritise your workload to ensure we meet statutory requirements, emerging risks and budget constraints (month-end, etc).
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
As a Contract Officer, you will support the Contract Manager to deliver asset compliance services, providing assurance of compliance and contributing to our residents’ safety, satisfaction, and value for money. Collectively, we deliver multi-million-pound projects, so an understanding of CDM regulations, health and safety, and project management experience is advantageous.
You Will Be Able To Demonstrate These Essential Skills
- Ability to gather information, diagnose problems, draw logical conclusions and suggest practical solutions.
- Experience of building and maintaining relationships with contractors, tenants and staff across different functions.
- Awareness of statutory and regulatory fire safety requirements relating to asset compliance.
- Good attention to detail.
- Good written and verbal communication skills.
- A sound understanding of financial controls.
- Able to demonstrate Guinness behavioural competencies.
