- Managing your own schedule and meeting agreed report turnaround times.
- Helping Hogbens establish and grow its presence in new geographical areas.
- Liaising with colleagues on technical matters, project work and quality assurance.
- Maintaining compliance with RICS standards, guidance and professional expectations.
- Using modern survey equipment and technology where appropriate.
About you: We are looking for someone who is technically capable, approachable and genuinely interested in property. You should have strong building surveying skills, ideally with experience in residential building surveying across a range of property types. Client service is central to how we work. We place strong emphasis on customer relationships, clear communication and understanding each client’s concerns.
Essential requirements:
- Strong residential surveying and building pathology knowledge.
- Experience carrying out residential surveys across a range of property types.
- Excellent written reporting skills.
- Good client-facing communication skills.
- Full UK driving licence and ability to travel across the firm’s operating area.
What we offer: Starting salary from £50,000 per annum dependent on experience. On-target earnings around £65,000 per annum. Achievable bonus structure linked to revenue generated. Hybrid working, with a mix of site inspections and home, local office or Macclesfield office-based reporting. Supportive working environment. Training, development and upskilling wherever possible.
