You'll be an integral part of our team, assisting our Property Managers and working directly with some of our major clients, so we need someone who knows their stuff.

2. Assist with and manage major works projects.
3. Identify additional services that we can offer.
4. Prepare detailed reports summarising findings and recommendations for property management strategies.
5. Collaborate with Property Managers and other stakeholders to discuss survey results and implement necessary changes.
6. Stay updated on industry regulations, market trends, and best practices in property management.
7. Assist in the development of maintenance plans based on survey findings to enhance property value and tenant satisfaction.
8. Ensure compliance with Health and Safety regulations during all surveying activities.

Experience:

• A degree/equivalent in building surveying.
• Previous experience in property surveying.
• Creating level three fire risk assessments (not absolutely essential).
• Previous experience of completing rebuild cost assessments.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, for report writing and stakeholder engagement.

• A keen eye for detail and a proactive approach to problem-solving are essential traits for success in this role.
