We have several Repairs Surveyor positions available, where you will work within teams of dedicated construction professionals in the delivery of minor and major repairs to residential properties across the city.

If future demand and priorities change, you may be required to work in any of these.

We are seeking to employ an enthusiastic and motivated building surveyor to join our responsive repairs team. Within this role you will attend daily inspections to assess, oversee and manage the day-to-day response repairs that are reported and provide technical support from inception to completion in order to manage the end-to-end repairs process service for our residents and leaseholders.

The scope of works you will come across daily can include, but not limited to, the following items – repairing the roof, windows and/or door replacement, internal decorations, bathroom/kitchen repairs, asbestos removals, mould/ventilation issues, damp & timber treatments, concrete and balcony repairs, works to the curtilage of the property or of blocks, on occasion involving working at height. You will ensure that work is carried out to BCC standards, specification, and timescales, ensuring quality and value for money. As a surveyor you will inspect work at key stages through to practical completion and record all outcomes.
