A fantastic opportunity has arisen at NEO Property Solutions as we grow our Surveying team. The successful candidates will travel to customer premises throughout the UK to survey the site and report back ready for our team of joiners and fire stoppers to complete the installations. This is an ideal role for someone with a Building Services degree that is looking for their first step into industry, or an experienced Fire Stopper / Joiner who would like to move away from the tools. The role requires a mix of great customer service skills, good administration and a keen eye for attention to detail.

The role

In the role of Fire Door Surveyor, you will visit multiple building types comprising student accommodation, housing association premises, care homes, public buildings, schools, supermarkets and universities to perform condition surveys on fire doors. In the case of occupied housing blocks, this will include flat entrance doors, where you will be required to meet predetermined access protocols and customer care procedures when liaising with customers and gaining access to perform your surveys.

The surveys you perform will be collated through the use of Bolster software accessible through a smartphone application. Once located on floor plans, each door will be tagged, enabling you to assess condition against a series of prompts and approved repair techniques. Taking approximately 10 minutes to complete, each survey will require you to obtain measurements, supported by photographic records. Often working on your own, you will be required to maintain regular contact with your line manager and members of our planning team to maintain records of outputs, validate survey results and finalise reports before submission to our clients. The role will suit motivated team players with good organisation skills, knowledgeable in survey work that use initiative to meet predetermined targets.
