• Measure external and internal dimensions accurately, record substrate conditions, note access constraints and identify any pre-existing defects.
• Confirm specified measures (Attic, Cavity Wall, Wall Vents, Roof Vents, DCV) are feasible on the property and flag where they are not.
• Record findings on WIMS the same day the survey is carried out; upload photos, measurements and site notes as evidence.

Variations & scope control

• Identify variations between the SEAI allocation and site reality (missing measures, additional measures, condition-driven changes).
• Produce a clear written variation scope with supporting evidence; submit through the agreed variation process.
• Liaise with the Project Manager on priority and sequencing of variations.

Bill of Quantities & materials

• Produce accurate BoQs from site measure data to support crew mobilisation and procurement.
• Confirm materials type and quantities with the Project Manager before works commence.
• Flag any survey-to-install variances to the PM so they are investigated before costs escalte.

• Where required, revisit sites to capture as-built records and confirm installed quantities match the signed-off scope.
• Support SEAI technical inspections by providing survey data, drawings and site notes.

Homeowner-facing conduct

• Log every homeowner interaction of substance in the Homeowner Comm Log (HCL) on WIMS.

Health & safety

• Hold valid Safe Pass and Manual Handling certifications at all times.
• Complete the daily vehicle check on Fleet Hub.
• Record any near-miss, hazard or incident on the H&S app the same day.

Ideal Candidate

• A construction, civil engineering, building services, quantity surveying or related Level 7+ qualification (NFQ) — or equivalent trade qualification with substantive site experience.
• Minimum 3 years post-qualification experience in site surveying, construction supervision, retrofit works or a comparable field role.
• Registered BER Assessor (Domestic). Candidates without BER will be considered; the successful candidate may be supported to obtain BER registration post-hire if the fit is strong.
• Proven ability to take accurate site measurements, produce BoQs and interpret construction drawings. Familiarity with insulation measures (external wall, cavity, attic), ventilation and basic building fabric principles.
• Competent with MS Office / Google Workspace, mobile data-capture tools and job-management systems. Able to work on tablets / phones on site.
• Full, clean Irish or EU driving licence; willingness to travel across the corridor from Kildare to Waterford on a daily basis.
