Job Description

Your new company
Hays are delighted to be supporting a key local authority client based in Worcestershire in recruiting experienced Building Surveyors to join their team on an initial 6-month assignment (potential of extension to 12 months and further) to support with the delivery of a key 3-year planned works project.

Your new role
This interim opportunity will see you conduct general building pathology and condition surveys of external properties, utilising your strong background as a building surveyor to create detailed reports, and recommendations based on the condition of assets. This role will be predominantly office and site-based, where you can expect three days per week out conducting surveys with two days set aside for report writing, with some hybrid working flexibility here. You will utilise your strong background and understanding of the costs associated with planned works programmes to make recommendations on what should be done with stock, from repairs and improvement works, to demolition.

This role is in scope of IR35.

What you'll need to succeed
In order to succeed in this role you will be an experienced Building Surveyor with strong understanding of the main disciplines associated with the role, including disrepair, damp and mould, and a strong general understanding of building pathology. You will ideally possess key experience in roles within either local authority of housing associations, and it would be desirable to be qualified to HND or HNC level within a related discipline, however candidates with strong Surveyor experience will absolutely be considered. You will be required to drive and so must have a valid driving licence and use of your own vehicle with business insurance (mileage will be covered).

Visa Sponsorship will not be offered for this opportunity and applicants will require the right to work in the UK at the time of application. Those without the right to work in the UK need not apply.

What you'll get in return
In return you will receive a strong rate of pay of up to £35 per hour on an Umbrella rate (PAYE also available) plus mileage costs, and the potential of a long-term contract with excellent further potential for opportunities with this local authority as part of the 3-year planned works project.
