This role

We are recruiting for a Property Surveyor to support the overall Property directorate in the diagnosis and management of non day to day repairs and building faults to find a satisfactory resolution for our residents whilst being mindful of budgets. You will manage your own workload to diagnose and manage property defects, disrepair and complicated or larger pieces of work including ad hoc planned replacements.

What you'll need to succeed

It is essential you have a proven track record of delivering complex repairs, with a working knowledge of Schedule of rates and ability to carry out building diagnostics. Expectation of our residents is high and budgets are tight so this role requires people and financial management along with excellent building diagnostic skills. While your experience, skills and track record are an absolute requirement, they are secondary in this role to your commitment, curiosity and genuine passion for fixing buildings first time.
