It’s an exciting time to join Warwick District Council’s Neighbourhood and Assets team, as we deliver on a variety of building projects for the Council’s housing stock and to our many historic buildings. Our projects are varied and interesting and will provide you with building project challenges not often found within our sector.

We are looking for a Building Surveyor to join our experienced team on a permanent basis. Our work involves specifying and managing works to the Council’s housing stock and providing aids and adaptations work for our tenants.
