What Stiltz do:
At Stiltz Homelifts we’re revolutionising home accessibility with our award-winning through-floor homelifts — making it possible for everyone to access every floor of their home, regardless of age or mobility. As demand grows across the UK and internationally, we’re expanding our technical surveying team and investing in the people who make every installation a success.
What you’ll do:
- Lead detailed, invasive building surveys to confirm installation feasibility for our homelifts
- Assess structural integrity and risk — including lifting floors, tracing M&E services, identifying deterioration, and escalating to a Structural Engineer when needed
- Produce clear, accurate technical outputs: sketches, floor plans, aperture measurements, structural notes, and survey reports
- Champion compliance and safety — completing RAMS, CDM documentation, Building Regulations requirements, ISO processes, and health and safety checks
- Drive right-first-time delivery by developing Bills of Materials (BOMs), defining work methods, ordering specialist materials, and collaborating with Building Control, engineers, and build teams
What You’ll Need to Succeed:
- Proven experience in building, structural, or construction surveying — from asbestos, quantitative, new build, or refurbishment environments
- Carpentry or structural trades background (highly desirable) with the confidence to assess real-world build conditions
- Solid understanding of Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM) and Building Control, used daily on structural surveys within domestic properties
- IT confident and able to create precise, reliable technical documentation
- A problem-solver's mindset — able to assess complex structural challenges with precision and attention to detail
- Full UK driving licence — a company vehicle is provided
This is a field-based role involving regular travel, with occasional overnight stays required to meet business needs.
