Job description

Uttlesford District is consistently identified as one of the best places to live in the UK. We’re ideally located, with easy access to London and Cambridge and an international airport on our doorstep, and yet, the district still retains its rural character, alongside its market towns and villages.

Arrange and manage the General Fund Stock condition survey and subsequent work plan. The General Fund Council stock has a wide range of age, from modern new builds back through the ages to a twelfth century castle and includes three listed buildings and a scheduled monument.

To be successful in this role you will need to be flexible, well organised and able to ensure all queries and issues arising are dealt with in a timely manner and workloads managed effectively.

You should be a fully qualified RICS surveyor ideally with a minimum of 3 years’ post qualification experience. While not essential, experience of working with Historic England would be desirable.
