About the role

At Tesco, we believe in the power of spending more time together, face to face, than apart.

We understand that life looks different for everyone, whether you're starting your career, seeking flexibility for personal interests, or navigating life-changing events. We welcome conversations about flexible working arrangements throughout your application process.

As part of a national team of Surveyors, you will conduct building condition and risk surveys on Tesco stores, offices, and distribution centres.

• Carrying out building surveys and inspections to identify risks, plan works, and prepare specifications for remedial actions.
• Performing quality and cost assurance checks on maintenance works.
• Reviewing contractor estimates for accuracy and value for money.
• Supporting the development of planned maintenance regimes (PPMs) for our estate.
• Providing technical input into building fabric maintenance across various building types.
• Collaborating with maintenance teams to ensure compliance and effective solutions.
• Leading individual maintenance projects to improve building maintenance and health & safety standards.
• Ensuring statutory compliance related to building maintenance (CDM, Work at Height, Asbestos, etc.).
• Contributing to design standards and the Building Condition Survey process to specify appropriate materials and relevant survey outputs.

You will need

Operational skills:

• Excellent influencing and communication skills.
• Ability to articulate technical information clearly.
• Strong collaboration skills within a large organization.
• People management and leadership capabilities.
• Data management skills.
• Excellent organizational skills.

Experience:

• Chartered RICS/CIOB Building Surveyor or working towards this qualification.
• Degree or equivalent in Building Surveying or Construction.
• Experience in retail or similar building surveying/construction roles is desirable.

What's in it for you?

We offer a comprehensive benefits package to support your wellbeing both in and out of work, including:

• Annual bonus scheme up to 20% of base salary.
• Starting holiday entitlement of 25 days plus a personal day, plus Bank Holidays.
• Private medical insurance.
• 26 weeks maternity and adoption leave (after 1 year of service) at full pay, followed by 13 weeks statutory maternity/adoption pay, and 6 weeks fully paid paternity leave.
