We are looking for an experienced Surveyor or Construction Manager who can oversee and manage the design side of the Agency’s adaptation and repair work and manage the contractor’s delivery of projects.
This very rewarding area of work would suit someone with people and contracts management experience who also has good communication and performance management skills. We are positive about disability, and this role will involve a lot of contact with clients and their families in their own home, so a calm, clear and customer centric approach is also key together with the ability to balance the works required with available budget.
The successful candidate should have a good knowledge of building regulations, CDM, and be experienced in procuring contracts including writing specifications, works schedules and contract management.
The postholder will have their own caseload which will include design, specification writing, preparing work schedules and managing contractor performance as well as reporting on the overall performance of the surveying staff/projects. Surveyors typically deal with more complex projects such as extensions and provide technical advice and interventions where required.
