Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council
Make a Difference Where It Matters Most
Dudley Council is transforming the way we deliver services for our residents, communities and businesses. We are seeking a number of exceptional Strategic Operational Leads to play a key role in shaping the future of our Housing and Property services across the borough.
About The Roles
The Housing and Property Team is recruiting Operations Managers to support the delivery of several key functions.
These are senior operational service leadership roles, operating across statutory services and areas that are high-profile, politically sensitive and emotive. Some services operate outside normal office hours, so successful candidates must be prepared to work flexibly when required.
Successful postholders will report to the Associate Director Acquisitions, Compliance & Maintenance and will provide oversight across a number of related service areas.
The Operations Manager of Property Management & Investment will oversee a large multidisciplinary team responsible for the strategic asset management of the Council's residential and non-residential properties, including:
- Strategic asset management and planning
- Planned works delivery
- Capital projects, and cyclical maintenance programmes
- Minor works, including Disabled Facilities Grants (DFGs), home improvements and disrepair
- Minor and major voids
Why Join Us?
You'll be joining a council with ambitious plans for improvement and transformation, where your leadership will directly influence services that matter to thousands of residents.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
