Engie has made a number of inroads into the social housing sector in recent years. In 2017, it bought social housing contractor Keepmoat Regeneration in a deal worth £330m.
In December, the firm took over the multimillion pound maintenance contract with Anchor Housing Association after the previous contractor Forrest fell into administration.
Engie has also been hired by Gentoo to undertake maintenance work on 1,500 homes across Sunderland as part of an extensive upgrade of its properties.
Commenting on her appointment, Ms Levitt said: “I’m delighted to be taking up the role of Engie’s CEO for UK & Ireland. We have a clearly defined strategy in integrated client solutions and flexible and renewable energy, delivering outcomes for both business and local authority customers that enable them to balance their performance with responsibility.
“I look forward to helping our customers in the transition towards a more decentralised, increasingly digital, zero-carbon economy. Our focus on improving people’s lives through better living and working environments remains unchanged.”
