No two days are the same in Brighton & Hove City Council’s Building Surveying Team! If you like genuine diversity in your Building Surveying work and are looking to learn new skills, then we have a fantastic opportunity for you.
This council has set the City an ambitious carbon neutral target by 2030 and this is the chance for you to contribute to that in a positive, meaningful way.
From finding solutions to rectifying defects, undertaking all kinds of refurbishments to organising a far-reaching programme of planned maintenance works, we deal with schools, social care premises, non-housing buildings, listed historic buildings, etc. You will work with our Mechanical and Electrical Engineers as part of a design team approach to refurbishment projects that reduce carbon.
About the role
We need team players who are strong on Health and Safety, confident on AutoCAD, proactive in monitoring contractor performance on site, a flexible approach, good communication skills with the ability to work under pressure in our trusted, busy team of professionals.
You will be well supported by the team as you grow your career whether you are qualified or working towards qualification as a Building Surveyor of the RICS, CIOB or similar approved. We will help you through your APC with work time to study and provide a programme of in-house training and CPDs to help you grow and succeed. As an incentive, when you qualify, we will even pay your annual subs.
You will have the opportunity to work with a wide range of Client teams across the City to support service provision, corporate objectives and ensure the best use of our assets. We remain sustainably independent as we generate fees through the works we manage. Always busy, we continue to secure further programmes of work and need to fill this post with the right person.
In return, you will enjoy a package of benefits that includes:
* a healthy work-life balance with flexible working hours and hybrid working at Hove Town Hall and from home
* a laptop and iPhone for the days you work from home
* generous annual leave from 28 days plus bank holidays, plus 2 extra statutory and 2 concessionary days per annum, and flexi-days if you accrue additional hours
* 24/7 access to free advice and support via the employee assistance programme
* lifestyle benefits such as season ticket loans, travel and leisure discounts
* tax-free benefits including the cycle to work scheme
As part of your application, you will need to upload your CV and answers to some shortlisting questions. Your answers to the shortlisting questions are the most important part of your application as they will be used in the shortlisting process to assess whether you meet the essential requirements for the role that are set out in the person specification and to decide whether you should be offered an interview.
Additional information
Your starting salary will be pro-rata if the above position is less than 37 hours or term-time only.
We offer the opportunity for the suitable candidate to choose to work in a hybrid way. Your specific working arrangements will be subject to team and service working arrangements already in place alongside Government guidance. Your contractual location will be the designated council office for your team and travel to and from your contractual location would be at your own expense.
Our city is known and loved for its diversity. Not only is the mixture of people, culture and skills vital to the economic and social development of the city, it's what makes Brighton & Hove such a great place to live, work and visit.
