This is an excellent opportunity to combine professional building surveying with hands-on project and construction oversight, making a visible contribution to the quality, safety and development of the University estate. Reporting to the Senior Project Manager, this is a varied client-side role combining building surveying, project delivery and Clerk of Works responsibilities.

- Identify defects and non-compliance and manage snagging and remedial works.
- Monitor health and safety requirements, including RAMS, permits to work and safe systems.
- Work closely with contractors, consultants and University stakeholders, reporting on progress, risk and quality.
We are looking for a building surveying professional with experience of condition surveys, defect diagnosis, technical documentation and contract administration, alongside practical experience of site inspection, quality assurance and snagging. You will have a relevant degree or equivalent experience, strong knowledge of construction methods and standards, and an understanding of CDM, Building Regulations and the Building Safety Act.
