You’ll be working within a great team of highly professional Registered Building Inspectors and dedicated technical support staff who are passionate about the service they deliver and whose work was recognised at the 2024 annual LABC awards and our own council ‘ACE Awards’.

As a result, we have a strong public and private client base and can provide you with the opportunity to work on a wide variety of exciting commercial projects across the borough and further afield including for the BSR. We have also invested in a new IT solution offering the opportunity to get involved in digital transformation and developing new ways of working.

More broadly, the council has an exciting regeneration agenda with a significant economic growth opportunity for Greater Manchester and the wider North West region. We are already delivering on our plans to create over one million square metres of employment space, 20,000 jobs, and 10,000 new homes connected by new and enhanced infrastructure and transport links in Atom Valley and have ambitious regeneration plans for our town centres. Home to 8,000 businesses, the Atom Valley Mayoral Development Zone, Northern Gateway and Rochdale Rail Corridor - the scale of opportunity is huge and so there has never been a better time to join us.

In return, we can offer a highly competitive package, generous leave entitlement and payment of your professional fees and BSR registration costs.
