The Service & Team:
Cornwall is an amazing place to live and work, with its stunning beaches, spectacular countryside, and rich heritage.
Our generous relocation package could help you make the move to Cornwall, enhancing your work-life balance.
We are currently seeking two Senior Building Inspectors (ideally Class 2A-F) to join our team. We operate in a highly competitive marketplace, providing high-quality services to the communities and businesses of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

* Keen, customer-focused candidates with proven experience in a high-quality Building Control environment. Knowledge of legislation and technical documents related to Building Regulations, workload management skills, and excellent customer service and negotiation skills are essential.

* Qualification with a relevant degree and full membership of a professional body such as RICS, CABE, or CIOB is preferred.
* Ideally, you will be a Class 2A-F Registered Building Inspector or registered at Class 2A RBI.
