A newly created opportunity for an experienced Building Surveyor to join a growing and ambitious team.

Eos Talent is partnering with an established and growing Approved Housing Body to recruit a Property Surveyor into a newly created position. This is a particularly exciting time to join the organisation. With an experienced and highly regarded leadership team driving significant growth and change, there is a real focus on strengthening technical expertise, improving property standards and developing a progressive, high-performing function.

The role will suit a technically strong Building Surveyor who enjoys investigating building defects, identifying the underlying causes of problems and developing practical solutions.

You will have the opportunity to work across a diverse residential property portfolio, contribute to planned investment decisions and help shape how technical surveying services are delivered.

The Role

You will provide technical building surveying expertise across a residential property portfolio, supporting stock condition assessments, defect investigations, planned investment and remediation programmes.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Undertaking building condition surveys, technical inspections and building pathology investigations.
• Identifying and diagnosing residential building defects, including dampness, water ingress, structural movement and ventilation issues.
• Preparing technical reports, scopes of work and specifications for remedial works.
• Applying your knowledge of Irish Building Regulations and fire safety requirements.
• Supporting planned maintenance and investment programmes through technical assessments and recommendations.
• Inspecting completed works and assessing quality and compliance.
• Engaging directly with residents to understand reported issues, explain findings and agree practical next steps.
