Panoramic Associates is working with a Local Authority in Essex that is looking for an experienced Registered Building Inspector to join their Building Control team on an interim basis. This role is for a Class 2A–2F who can step into a busy Local Authority environment and take ownership of a broad range of building control work.

What you'll be doing:

  • Enforce the Building Regulations, Building Act and associated legislation across a range of projects, including complex developments.
  • Examine and assess Building Regulation applications, negotiating with applicants to identify compliant solutions where appropriate.
  • Authorise the approval or rejection of plans and applications within statutory timescales and prepare the relevant decision notices.
  • Undertake statutory and non-statutory site inspections, making informed decisions on site and providing clear instructions where necessary.
  • Maintain accurate and comprehensive inspection and enforcement records.
  • Investigate complaints and breaches of Building Regulations and initiate appropriate enforcement action.
  • Prepare reports, evidence and documentation to support legal proceedings where required.
  • Work alongside the Council's legal team and attend court as an expert witness when necessary.
  • Provide professional and technical advice to applicants, contractors and other stakeholders.
  • Support the Building Control Manager in maintaining a high-quality, customer-focused Building Control service.

You'll need strong technical knowledge, sound judgement and the confidence to deal with complex applications, site issues and enforcement matters independently.

If you're a Class 2A–2F Registered Building Inspector and you're open to a part-time interim assignment in Essex, I'd be happy to have a confidential conversation and talk you through the role, team and wider requirements.
