Venesky-Brown’s client, a public sector organisation in Bristol, is currently looking to recruit an Architect Surveyor for a Permanent contract on a salary of £38,067 (Pro Rata). This role is Part-Time.

Responsibilities:

- Partnerships teams are one of several specialist teams located in regional offices. They are principally responsible for the delivery of discretionary services (as opposed to its statutory duties) for and with local partners in places.

- Partnerships teams’ chief duty is to advocate for the care and conservation, and, where appropriate, creative reuse so that the key contribution it makes in improving quality of life can be realised.

- Because of this proactive focus, much of the work carried out by Partnerships teams takes place within projects, that can be ongoing over a number of months or years. In order to deliver these projects, Partnerships staff bring a wide range of skills to their teams and come from a number of different professional backgrounds. They are consequently able, together, to find creative solutions that deliver results for both heritage and people through their expertise in advocacy and engagement, research, grant-giving, project management, capacity building and repair and conservation.

- As key members of the regional Partnerships teams, architects and surveyors use their expert technical skills to advise partners and help them to develop proposals for repair and alteration of heritage assets and give guidance on areas of change in historic townscapes and landscapes in which those assets sit. You have a unique opportunity to impact directly on the conservation and to improve people’s lives by doing so.

- Professional qualification in architecture or building surveying, with current ARB registration or chartered RICS membership and accreditation in building conservation (AABC, RIBA (SCA level) or RICS) or working towards the above accreditations.

- Extensive wide-ranging experience of the repair of buildings, and in project management.

- Good working knowledge of English secular and ecclesiastical architecture of all periods.

- Excellent knowledge of building construction, current practice and a wide range of methods for the repair, alteration and adaption of buildings, monuments and design.

- Ability to approach repair problems and possible solutions in a practical and creative way.

- Good working knowledge of the implications of current construction industry regulation.
