Your new company
An opportunity has arisen for a passionate Property Services Surveyor to join a provider of affordable housing based in the Exeter region on a permanent basis. Your new employer is renowned locally for providing a suite of high quality and affordable homes available for rent and shared ownership. You'll be working within a small team, for an organisation with a 'family feel' where every member of the team contributes towards a set of goals and objectives - supporting health, wellbeing, support, education and helping communities to thrive.
Your new role
Joining as a Property Services Surveyor, you will be one of the first port of calls for tenants when an inspection is required within a property. You will use your defect diagnosis skills to get under the skin of an issue, before creating a report to outline the required actions. As the specialist surveyor, you will take a lead in the project management of the repair phases of your projects, liaising with both external contractors and an in-house trade team to ensure repairs are completed to the required quality, in-line with the report and within budget.
What you'll need to succeed
In order to succeed in this position, it would be highly beneficial to have worked as a trade historically (carpenter, plumber, electrician etc.), before progressing into supervisory and surveying positions, or becoming a building surveyor. This background will mean that you'll be able to accurately and confidently liaise with trade supervisors and create reports that mean repair issues are resolved to the highest of standards. You'll need to be able to back up your experience and credibility with some qualifications, which could include a HNC or HND in construction or a degree in Building Surveying.
What you'll get in return
In return, you will be offered a permanent employment contract with a salary of up to £39,000 per year. In addition to salary, you'll be able to take advantage of a 35 hour working week, 26 days annual leave + 8 days of bank holidays off each year, as well as pension, life assurance and other income protection schemes. All of your work will be located in the Exeter region, meaning no regional travel is required.
