The role of the Building Surveyor is critical to maintaining and upgrading the Council's housing stock. You will be working across a wide range of high-value capital projects including major capital programmes for housing. Work includes retrofit works, planned maintenance, cyclical maintenance, large responsive maintenance work, and asbestos management, ensuring all projects are appropriately surveyed, specified, scheduled, procured, and contract managed.
The post holder will be required to lead on capital projects (including retrofit works), managing all aspects of the work from start to final accounts. This will include preparation of tender documentation, preparation of bills of quantities, design specifications, valuations on contracts, and measurement of works on site, as well as carrying out the PD role under CDM. Additionally, preparation of claims contracts, schedules of rates, small estimates, etc., for various clients will be required.
You must have a good understanding of all retrofit grant requirements to deliver a compliant and successful scheme. This will include PAS requirements, Trustmark requirements, Retrofit Designer/Assessor and Co-ordinator roles.
You must be confident with the use of IT and capable of navigating through MS Office, Outlook, and have knowledge and skills in the use of databases and AutoCAD.
You must be capable of working independently, although support from the broader team is always available. We require dynamic, innovative, and forward-thinking people to join our team. It is preferable that you have some experience of working in a person-centred environment or with older and more vulnerable client groups, although full induction and ongoing training is provided.
