Job description

One of the highest rated building managing agents in Manchester is seeking a qualified Building Surveyor to carry out insurance rebuild cost assessments, condition surveys and help manage (primarily client liaison) major projects that they are involved with. There may also be scope to carry out level three fire risk assessments, though this isn't essential immediately. You'll be an integral part of their team, assisting their Property Managers and working directly with some of their major clients, so they need someone who knows their stuff.

Service quality and customer service is absolutely paramount, so you'd be joining a company that genuinely sits above its competitors.

Responsibilities

• Conduct re-build cost assessments, level three fire risk assessments and compartmentation surveys.
• Assist with and manage major works projects.
• Identify additional services that our client can offer.
• Prepare detailed reports summarising findings and recommendations for property management strategies.
• Collaborate with Property Managers and other stakeholders to discuss survey results and implement necessary changes.
• Stay updated on industry regulations, market trends, and best practices in property management.
• Assist in the development of maintenance plans based on survey findings to enhance property value and tenant satisfaction.
• 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.
• Proficiency in using surveying tools and software.
• A keen eye for detail and a proactive approach to problem-solving are essential traits for success in this role.
