- You’ll balance hands\-on technical work with strategic input
- You’ll play a key role in improving sustainability and long\-term resilience
- You’ll work with people, not just buildings, making a tangible impact
You’ll lead on repairs, maintenance and improvement projects, carry out surveys, manage contractors and help shape long\-term investment plans. You’ll also contribute to sustainability initiatives and help ensure buildings are safe, efficient and fit for the future.
What we’re looking for
A qualified Building Surveyor with strong technical knowledge, excellent organisational skills and the confidence to manage a varied workload and multiple stakeholders.

- Generous pension scheme
- Flexible working
- Strong commitment to professional development
- A supportive team and clear opportunities for progression
