About the Role

As a Projects Surveyor, you will be at the heart of delivering major works and insurance-related projects ensuring they are completed safely, on time, and within budget. You will act as a technical expert, working closely with customers, contractors, and internal teams to maintain and improve housing stock to the highest standards. This is a varied and hands-on role where no two days are the same from managing insurance claims and major works projects to conducting surveys and resolving complex property issues.

What You Will Be Doing

• Leading on insurance-related works, ensuring properties are safe, secure, and restored efficiently
• Managing major works projects from inspection through to completion
• Preparing specifications, schedules of work, and overseeing contractors on-site
• Acting as the main point of contact for customers and stakeholders
• Carrying out pre- and post-inspections to ensure quality and compliance
• Handling customer alterations, complaints, and technical queries
• Conducting dilapidation and stock condition surveys
• Managing contractors and ensuring works meet health & safety standards
• Monitoring budgets, approving invoices, and tracking project spend

What We Are Looking For

• HNC in Construction (or equivalent) OR a recognised trade qualification (e.g. City & Guilds in carpentry/plumbing)
• Strong experience in surveying, property maintenance, or construction
• Ability to manage projects, contractors, and budgets effectively
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Experience handling complex issues and making sound decisions

Desirable:

• Professional membership (e.g. RICS, CIOB)
• NEBOSH or equivalent Health & Safety qualification
• Experience with analytical tools (e.g. Excel, Power BI)
• Knowledge of housing sector systems (e.g. MRI / Service Connect)

We need somebody with the relevant experience who can work unsupervised, is organised and likes to achieve goals and targets.
