Careers

Are you ready to unlock your potential in a new career with Oakmere?

As a growing company with ambitious plans, we’re on the lookout for outstanding individuals to join our highly motivated team.

Technical Coordinator

Full-time: 37.5 hours Mon-Fri (reduced hours may be considered).
Location: In Person – Head Office, Kendal
Salary: Good – Dependant upon experience

Are you a highly organised and proactive Administrator looking to play a key role in a dynamic and growing housebuilding business? We are seeking a professional and reliable Technical Coordinator to provide support to the Technical team, helping to ensure the smooth running of day-to-day operations.

About the role:

In this role you’ll sit at the heart of our Technical team, making sure every new development is registered correctly and that the right paperwork reaches the right people at the right time. You’ll handle our LABC warranty submissions, upload site reports and property insurance certificates, and keep project information up to date on the relevant portals and on our in house systems. When completions approach, you’ll liaise with warranty providers and local building-control officers to secure CMLs, gather commissioning certificates from subcontractors, and oversee the completion of Part L photo evidence so that handovers run smoothly.

As new sites come on line, you’ll take ownership of the early-stage admin: applying for Openreach connections, requesting street names and postal addresses, and obtaining MPAN/MPRN numbers with our services team and energy provider. Working alongside the team, you’ll also help assemble the drawings and documents needed for planning applications and any subsequent submissions, before putting together clear technical handover packages for the construction team.

Day to day you’ll be the custodian of our drawings and records. That means distributing service drawings to site teams, maintaining a live drawing register, and collating weekly site paperwork such as site diaries and technical queries. You’ll oversee both electronic and hard-copy filing, refining our SharePoint structure so information is consistent, up to date, and easy to retrieve.

Finally, you’ll lend a hand with general office duties—helping the office run smoothly while you keep our technical information in perfect order.
