Are you a Surveyor with experience in disrepair, looking for a new challenge?
What you’ll be doing
As a Surveyor you will be used to completing property inspections and that is the crux of this role. The main focus of this role is to complete damp and mould and disrepair surveys, identifying building defects, and completing any further investigations to accurately diagnose and rectify any faults including damp remediation.
This will involve specifying works for our DLO as well as managing contractors to ensure all works are completed to a high standard and in good time.
You will need to produce high quality condition reports of each property that our solicitors can rely on in court and be willing to appear in court as a witness if required.
This role will also involve supporting our team of Response Surveyors by completing comprehensive damp investigations in problematic properties, providing advice and training to other members of the team and handling complaints.
An expertise in building pathology and experience in damp investigations will be a big asset in this role as would excellent customer care skills to help us manage these difficult cases.
You won’t be alone; you’ll be working with other Surveyors in Aster and between you will complete surveys across the group.
