We're a housing association…that's the obvious way to label us and of course you're not wrong. But you might also think of us as a commercially successful, £232million turnover property business with 29% operating surplus, a portfolio of over 35,000 homes worth c.£4billion, with a real focus on and dedication to providing quality services to the people living in them. If you see us as the latter, read on…

Our Building Surveyor (Retrofit & Planned Maintenance) is a role with real purpose. With roles within both our Planned Maintenance Team and Retrofit Team, you could play a central part in delivering energy efficiency upgrades, or improving the quality of homes through planned major component replacement programmes (kitchens, bathrooms, windows, roofs) – all while ensuring that our tenants are informed, engaged, and supported every step of the way.

Why This Role Could Be a Great Fit for You:

• Make a difference – Your work will directly contribute to reducing carbon emissions and fuel poverty.
• Own the process – From pre-contract planning to site inspections and reporting, you'll drive retrofit delivery from the ground up.
• Work with people – Build trusted relationships with tenants, contractors, and colleagues to ensure smooth, customer-focused projects.
• Keep learning – Whether you're a qualified Retrofit professional or willing to work toward it, you'll be part of a team that values knowledge-sharing and innovation.
• Shape the future – Bring your technical and contract management skills to a programme that's vital to our long-term sustainability strategy.
  
  

What's the role? Responsibilities include, but aren't limited to:

• Leading and managing a high-performing team of Surveyors.
• Conducting property inspections and collecting detailed data to assess planned maintenance or retrofit needs.
• Leading delivery of our whole house modernisation project, carbon reduction / sustainability initiatives, and major component replacements.
• Monitoring contractor performance, managing budgets, and producing reports that keep our retrofit strategy on track.
• Engaging and communicating with tenants to explain upcoming works, manage expectations, and ensure smooth delivery.
• Ensuring compliance with Health & Safety, CDM, and retrofit legislation.
• Working closely with internal teams and external partners to deliver a programme that meets energy efficiency and tenant satisfaction goals.
  
  

Our ideal candidate? Your CV and cover letter will highlight:

• A relevant HNC or equivalent qualification, or significant equivalent work experience.
• Significant technical experience in construction or maintenance related contract management.
• Experience managing budgets and completing the associated financial administration.
• You will be an excellent people manager, with a proven ability to lead and motivate your team to achieve challenging targets and objectives, using your excellent communication skills and ability to build strong professional relationships.
