Are you a skilled Building Surveyor looking for your next challenge?

At Paradigm Housing Group, we’re on a mission to provide safe, high-quality homes while building vibrant communities. Our Surveying Services Team plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety, sustainability, and improvement of our 16,000+ properties across the South East.

About the Role

As a Building Surveyor, you’ll be at the forefront of delivering exceptional surveying services. Reporting to an experienced Surveying Services Manager, you’ll work both independently and collaboratively to tackle a diverse range of property challenges. Expect variety and impact, as 60% of your time will be spent on-site conducting surveys and inspections.

Your key responsibilities will include:

  • Conducting property surveys and diagnosing defects, including damp, mould, structural issues, disrepair, and HHSRS/Fitness for Human Habitation assessments.

  • Managing investment works, from project inception to completion, including procurement, tendering, and contract administration.

  • Supporting Fire Risk Assessments and scoping remedial works, ensuring compliance with all regulations.

  • Providing expert advice on structural alterations, party wall matters, and property-related disputes.

  • Working with the Development Team on post-inspections, snagging, and defect management.

  • Supporting junior colleagues and inspectors in their professional development.

This is a pivotal role where your technical expertise, project management skills, and ability to work collaboratively will be key to our success.

What You’ll Need

We’re looking for a motivated professional with:

  • Qualifications: A Building Surveying, Construction, or Engineering qualification (diploma, HNC, degree) with a minimum of 5 years’ post-qualification experience. Professional accreditation (RICS, CIOB, or RIBA) is desirable.

  • Experience: Proven expertise in building surveys, defect diagnosis, and managing contractors and budgets. Experience with planned maintenance and JCT contracts is a plus.

  • Technical Knowledge: Familiarity with housing legislation, CDM regulations, Decent Homes standards, and HHSRS assessments.

  • Skills: Strong communication (written and verbal), time management, and problem-solving skills, with proficiency in MS Office and asset management tools.

  • Flexibility: A methodical approach and adaptability to manage multiple projects and priorities.

  • A valid driving license and access to a vehicle (insured for business use).

Why Join Us?

At Paradigm, we’re more than a housing provider – we’re a team dedicated to making a difference. When you join us, you’ll benefit from:

  • A supportive team environment, led by an experienced Chartered Surveyor.

  • The opportunity to work on varied and impactful projects.

  • Competitive salary and a range of excellent benefits, including flexible working.

  • The chance to contribute to a business focused on reinvesting profits into building more homes and improving communities.
