Do you thrive in a fast-paced work environment? Do you enjoy working to tight deadlines? Do you like to make a difference? If this sounds like you, then this could be the perfect role for you.

Here at Johnnie Johnson Housing, we’re now looking for a Property Surveyor to join us.

Our Property Surveyors are responsible for delivering a high quality, customer focused surveying/inspection service of planned, capital and cyclical work programmes to all our properties. Ensuring responsive repairs and void works at properties are completed to a high standard and within dedicated budget, you’ll carry out inspections, stock condition surveys and annual surveys associated with individual projects, responsive repairs, defects, cyclical projects and asbestos, and complete post inspects of work and actively resolve complaints and queries from residents, leaseholders, colleagues and external customers relating to repairs, services and planned work.

As a Property Surveyor, you’ll gather technical assistance and information in connection with disrepair claims and manage, from inception to completion, complex refurbishment and decent homes programmes including initial consultations, monitoring on site, agreeing final accounts and rectifying defects.

So now you’ve heard a bit about the role, let us tell you a bit about the team! It’s important to know who you might be working with, right?

Our Team

The team you’ll join is a really lovely close-knit team of seven. We’re led by the Head of Property and Building Safety and as well as providing support to the organisation, we support each other too.

About You

We’re looking for someone who holds a HND/HNC or equivalent in a relevant subject and who has experience in a similar role, with an understanding of social housing. A great communicator who puts customers at the heart of everything you do, you’ll enjoy working at pace and with colleagues across the business, and have a passion for continuous improvement, developing yourself and others. Able to plan, lead and support projects, you’ll be adaptable and embrace change and enjoy making decisions and having accountability.

A full UK driving licence is essential, as is access to a car for business use.

And the benefits of working for us?

We’ve adopted a completely agile way of working meaning you can work from home too, as long as our residents and customers are put first we’ll also give you a degree of flexibility using our ‘My Lifestyle’ guidelines, meaning you can attend the important things in life. So, whether you’ve got a gym class you’d love to attend, your child’s school play or maybe it’s just that you’ve got a new fridge being delivered, we will work with you to be flexible!

We also offer a fantastic holiday allowance of 33 days per annum (including statutory holidays) which rises to 38 days after 5 years’ service (pro-rata for fixed term contracts). We can offer you a 35-hour working week, an enhanced 5% employer contribution pension scheme and a recognition scheme with both financial and non-financial rewards such as gift vouchers, early finishes or even a later start! There’s loads more fantastic benefits too – you can find out more about these on our careers site!
