• Take the lead on complex and sensitive cases, acting as our expert voice
• Use performance data to drive smart decisions and deliver great outcomes

You’ll get flexibility, support and space to shape your role, with hybrid working, development opportunities and trust to do what you do best.

Imagine ending each day knowing you’ve made a positive impact on our customers’ lives. You can do that here, working for one of the top ten Great Places to Work in the UK!

You have

• A degree or equivalent experience in building surveying (RICS or CIOB preferred) plus relevant Health and Safety qualification and knowledge of building safety and compliance.

Job details

• Working Monday to Friday, you’ll shape your own diary around work, customers’ and your own commitments.
