There is no better place to work in London than Hackney; we have great pride in our borough, our communities, and our services. Hackney is one of Londons most vibrant and diverse boroughs. Its one of the most sought after areas to live in London with good schools, parks and local amenities.
Hackney Council is undertaking an ambitious programme of regeneration across a number of housing estates and sites across the borough. We aim to transform places by building new neighbourhoods with well-designed housing, streets and public spaces. The programme is building more than 3,000 new homes over the next 10 years and will deliver new council rented, shared ownership and
outright sale homes across Hackney.
The Councils Housing Regeneration and Delivery teams are leading the delivery of these homes at all stages starting with writing the briefs for sites, selecting architects and the wider design teams, managing the design process and procuring contractors and developer partners. We have won a number of prestigious awards for our housing schemes, including the RIBA Neave Brown Award for Housing 2024 and Overall Winner at the NLA Awards 2024. The Observers architecture critic said of Hackney By cross-subsidising, talking to residents and valuing good design, the east London borough is investing in some of the best council housing ever built.

You will have a genuine commitment to delivering exemplary housing development and regeneration schemes, as well as a proven track record in working collaboratively with project stakeholders. Substantial technical expertise gained through housing construction/delivery experience is also required, along with experience working at various levels in the construction industry, including a management role.
