🏡 Hybrid: site, home & office

Good buildings don't happen by accident.

They happen because someone checks the detail.

If you're a Building Inspector or Surveyor who cares about quality, fairness and doing right by residents, this is worth a look.

We're working with a well-established housing association in Central & West London that takes standards seriously and backs its people to uphold them.

You'll spend around 3.5 days a week on site, inspecting completed repairs and works, with the rest of your time split between home and the office.

Your role will include:

• Inspecting completed repairs & voids
• Checking quality, compliance and value for money
• Calling out defects and making sure they're put right
• Feeding back on contractor performance
• Inspecting mutual exchange properties
• Investigating damp, condensation, disrepair & complaints
• Signing off works linked to Fire Risk Assessments
• Writing clear, professional inspection reports

You'll work closely with surveyors, repairs teams and other departments to improve outcomes for residents.

What we're looking for

• Experience in housing, property maintenance or inspections
• Knowledge of landlord repairing obligations
• A good eye for building defects & H&S compliance
• Confidence writing reports and speaking with residents & contractors
• A calm, professional, resident-focused approach

You care about standards - and you're comfortable challenging poor work when needed.
