Senior Building Surveyor - York

Summary

Are you passionate about Heritage Buildings, do you feel you want to make a difference in conserving and persevering them for future generations … if so, we’d love to hear from you.  We’re looking for a Senior Building Surveyor/Architect with knowledge and experience of working with historic properties to become part of our team in the North. This is a rare and special opportunity to apply your professional skillset to some of the North’s iconic structures. 
Our places are spread across the country, from wild coasts to wooded estates and Lakeland hills.
This role will be based in York and there are requirements to be able to travel across Yorkshire and the wider Northeast. 
Interviews will be 29th January 2025 in York.

What it's like to work here

Your work will be integrated into our National Trust Consultancy which provides properties with advice and practical support across the full range of conservation and supporter development activities. You’ll bring to the team an in-depth conservation building/architectural knowledge, a high level of experience and the ability to work at pace in complex technical situations.
As this role covers the North and North East, your contractual place of work will be the nearest National Trust consultancy office to your home. Our hybrid working policy means you can balance office and home working with site visits and meetings at other National Trust places. We’ll talk about this in more detail at interview, but you should expect to be at a National Trust site for 40–60% of your working week. This role requires travel to various locations (some with very limited/no public transport available).

What you'll be doing

You’ll mainly work across 3 portfolios in the Yorkshire area, working alongside other consultants and property teams. In addition to being supported by the wider building surveyor community in the North and nationally. 
Whether it’s Mansion houses, Castles, or aspects of civil infrastructure, you’ll be responsible for the provision of an excellent conservation building service, taking work from inception to delivery. 
Your work will be focussed on a variety of small, medium and larger-scale project work (this can be conservation or compliance related). You’ll also provide expert advice, and delivery of building work to the highest conservation standards. You may need to act as project manager, following the NT’s project governance framework and managing external advisers and contractors. You’ll contribute to project planning and lead building conservation condition assessments.
Managing and building strong relationships with stakeholders is critical. Your internal clients are usually National Trust General Managers and Facilities Managers at local sites. You’ll be involved with other NT specialists, and statutory and local authority officers. You’ll be able to clearly communicate the essential elements of the work and collaborate on finding the best solutions.
This role will also involve the line management of one person.

Who we're looking for

We’d love to hear from you if you are:•An experienced Chartered Construction professional; RICS/CIOB/ARB•Familiar with Construction Project Management tools and demonstrate an ability to mitigate risk as proven by strong experience of contract management and contract administration in a supervisory capacity; •Experienced influencing others, in multi-disciplinary teams which will also include specialists from non-construction communities, with an ability to build strong relationships externally and internally and experience of working with external agencies, contractors and organisations.•Capable, from direct experience, of managing and recognising quality work from external consultants in the role of a Client Construction lead;•Able to demonstrate experience of financial responsibility for projects with exemplary data management.•Strong knowledge of relevant legislative requirements relating to the role.

It’s important that our people reflect and represent the diversity of the communities and audiences we serve. We welcome and value difference, so when we say we’re for everyone, we want everyone to be welcome in our teams too.
