• Ensure quality through live, pre- and post-inspections and technical audits
• Take the lead on complex and sensitive cases, acting as our expert voice
• Use performance data to drive smart decisions and deliver great outcomes

You'll get flexibility, support and space to shape your role, with hybrid working, development opportunities and trust to do what you do best.

You have

• A degree or equivalent experience in building surveying (RICS or CIOB preferred) plus relevant Health and Safety qualification and knowledge of building safety and compliance.
• Experience managing surveying teams in housing or construction
• Strong knowledge of housing legislation, compliance and CDM
• A coaching mindset and passion for developing others
• The ability to juggle tasks, meet deadlines and stay calm under pressure, delivering work commercially, on time, and within budget
• A keen eye for detail and a drive to make things better
• You must be able to use technology for updating records, budget and KPI management, completing online learning and collaborating with other colleagues.
• Hold a full UK driving licence and vehicle insured for business use - mileage is covered!
