Building Surveyor - Hybrid - Up to 55k
Location: Colchester - Hybrid working, with some site travel
Prime Appointments are working with a growing consultancy that's looking to add a Building Surveyor to its team. They work closely with housing providers and property owners to carry out detailed inspections, safety reports, and structural assessments, particularly around new building safety regulations.
This is a hands-on role where you'll be out on site conducting inspections, identifying defects and working closely with Fire Engineers and Building Safety Consultants to pull together Building Safety Case reports and fire strategies. It also involves supporting junior team members on-site and helping to keep projects moving smoothly.
What the role involves:
- Carrying out property surveys and inspections
- Spotting and diagnosing structural issues (e.g., cracks, water ingress, etc.)
- Writing up reports including condition surveys and risk assessments
- Supporting safety case work and fire strategy development
- Advising clients on maintenance and compliance
- Working with and mentoring junior colleagues
- Keeping up to date with legislation and industry standards
What they're looking for:
- Background in surveying or structural engineering
- Confident identifying and explaining building defects
- Experience with risk assessments and safety-related reporting
- Understanding of structural modelling and load path analysis
- HNC, degree, or similar in a relevant field
- Building Safety Case experience is a bonus, but not essential
This is a good opportunity for someone who enjoys a mix of site work and technical reporting and who wants to be involved in meaningful, safety-led projects. Flexible working is on offer, with strong support for development.
