The Role
As Head of Surveying, you will oversee all aspects of our surveying operations, including stock condition assessments, EPCs, retrofit surveys, damp and mould surveys, party wall inspections and defects analysis and remediation.

Stakeholder Collaboration: Build strong relationships with key teams across Paradigm, including Health & Safety, Customer Services, and Development, as well as external bodies such as local authorities and contractors, to meet operational and strategic targets.
Performance & Data Management: Oversee asset data accuracy, manage KPIs for property performance, implement a five-year stock condition programme and oversee the design of our Decarbonisation Programme. Your insights will be vital in supporting effective decision-making and continuous improvement.
Customer and Community Focus: Lead the surveying team in providing efficient, customer-centred service. Respond to complaints professionally and engage with resident groups to maintain high satisfaction levels.

A degree in Building Surveying or equivalent qualification (MRICS preferred) and at least 5-10 years of relevant experience.
A strong grasp of social housing, asset management, and property maintenance best practices.
Extensive knowledge of building regulations and safety requirements, including CDM and Party Wall legislation.
