The Vacancy

Here at Wates, we have an opportunity for an experienced Site Surveyor to join our WPS Planned Maintenance team in the Wolverhampton area.

You will be working with an experienced team and helping to deliver projects for one of our long-standing social housing partners, so ideally we are looking for someone with experience in this field.

The role is split between the office and travelling to our clients' sites, so a driving license is a must.

Key Accountabilities Will Include

1. Producing Applications, Accounts & Invoices in the appropriate format in a timely manner.
2. Ensuring all costs incurred in the delivery of the service are appropriately coded, recorded, authorized, and recovered.

4. Keeping commercial WIP and debt to an absolute minimum and in line with targets set by management.
5. Ensuring the timely production of valuations leading to invoice production within 9 calendar days of works completion.
6. Providing support and enhancing communication between WPS and the client.

We are looking for someone with financial and commercial awareness, with a clear commitment to customer-centred service. Ideally, you will already be in a similar position and have experience within the social housing sector.

To be successful in this role, you will be an excellent written and verbal communicator with an understanding of legislation in maintenance and property management.

Given the nature of this position, you will need to undergo a Basic Disclosure and Barring Service Check (DBS) at offer stage.
