Location: Tredegar House, Newport, NP10 8YW
Contract Type: Permanent / full-time
Reference/IRC: IRC159087
Closing Date: 26th January 2025
Salary: £42,000 pa
In collaboration with fellow Architects and Building Surveyors, you’ll engage with other professionals and conservation experts to offer support and specialised knowledge across various facets of building operations, conservation efforts, defect analysis, and project execution. Your contributions will play a vital role in ensuring that our properties meet sustainable standards for building conservation and restoration. We’re looking for someone technically proficient in conservation, maintenance, and current building regulations to ensure effective delivery of projects.
What it's like to work here
You’ll join our National Trust Cymru Consultancy Team - an in-house team of multidisciplinary experts who together form a great repository of skills, talents, and experience.
As this role covers parts of either North or South Wales, your contractual place of work will be the nearest National Trust consultancy office to your home. These offices are Tredegar (Newport), Llandeilo, Erddig, Dinas, or Penrhyn (Bangor). Our hybrid working policy means you can balance office and home working with site visits and meetings at other National Trust places. We’ll talk about this in more detail at interview, but you should expect to be at a National Trust site for 40–60% of your working week.
This role looks after some rural properties, some with very limited access via public transport. You'll be required to travel to different locations across the portfolio, sometimes at short notice; please keep this in mind when applying.
We’d love to hear from you if you have:
1. A Chartered level membership of Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors, Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), Chartered Institute of Buildings (CIOB), or Architects Registration Board (ARB).
2. Knowledge and enthusiasm for building conservation, defect diagnosis, maintenance, and repair; ability to review and inspect the condition of buildings and produce a comprehensive report on the findings and potential repairs.
3. Proven experience in preparing specifications, work schedules, and managing contracts.
4. The ability to think strategically to identify future needs and priorities and produce considered and measured prioritised plans for work and projects to maximise restricted resources.
5. Experience leading project teams and positively interacting with external stakeholders, such as Conservation Officers, CADW, and regulatory agencies.
6. Proficiency briefing and overseeing consultants, acting as a client-side advisor and technical expert, including working with Building Surveyors and Architects.
