We are currently looking for two Senior Building Inspectors (ideally Class 2A-F) to join our team. We operate in a highly competitive marketplace, providing a high-quality service to both the businesses and communities of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

You will have demonstrable wide‑ranging knowledge and understanding of the legislation and technical documents underpinning the Building Regulations, be proficient in effectively managing and prioritising workloads in pressurised situations and have excellent customer focus and negotiation skills.
• You will be able to contribute effectively to the productivity of the service and undertake work independently in a prompt and professional manner.
• Ideally you will be qualified with a relevant degree and be a full member of a relevant professional body – i.e. RICS, CABE, or CIOB.
• You should ideally be at least a Class 2A‑F Registered Building Inspector, but we would also consider candidates who are registered at Class 2A RBI.
