Hove, Brighton and Hove, United Kingdom YMCA DownsLink Group Full time

THE ROLE: Building Surveyor - Full-time (37 hours per week) / Permanent / Based on site, working Monday to Thursday, 9am - 5pm and Friday 9am - 4.30pm.

Our mission is to help children and young people have a fair chance to be who they want to be. We do this by providing a safe home, increasing life skills and self-confidence, and improving emotional wellbeing and mental health.

YMCA DownsLink Group is looking for a Building Surveyor to join the Asset Management team. This is a new role in our structure, playing a key part in delivering capital investment programme in line with the business plan – whilst working closely with other members of the team to ensure we maintain compliance and maintenance. This is a great opportunity for a dynamic individual to make this role their own.

As part of the Asset Management team restructure, we have identified a need for a Building Surveyor to assist the Head of Asset Management to deliver Capital Investment programme. By bringing these skills in house, it is hoped to create a more dynamic role with the benefit of ability to oversee upcoming works and provide additional resources to areas we need additional expertise such as dilapidations, disrepair, HHSRS and damp and mould.

You will be involved in the specification writing process (unless specialist consultancy is required) and lead the procurement to ensure we are OJEU compliant in our appointment of the appropriate contractor. You will lead on the delivery of capital investment programme, ensuring planned works are appropriately procured to ensure value for money and adequately experienced/qualified contractors deliver works. You will also undertake and maintain stock condition surveys, undertake building surveys to complete dilapidations, complex repair scoping of works (and specification writing – where appropriate), disrepair, damp and mould inspections (more complex cases) and provision of technical expertise in absence of Head of Asset Management. In addition, you will support colleagues across the business to empower them to confidently make low level decisions themselves.

ABOUT YOU: We know that there are great candidates who will not fit everything described, or who have important skills we have not mentioned. If that is you, please do not hesitate to apply and tell us about yourself.

We are looking for someone with ability to bring others on the journey to improve ways of working and sharing ideas to develop a team. You will be qualified with BSc in Building Surveying, or similar, along with Chartered or working toward chartered membership with CIOB or RICS, with a willingness to work toward CIH qualifications as appropriate.

You will already have 5 years' experience managing construction projects, excellent building pathology knowledge – with ability to identify and resolve complex building defects, along with experienced in:

writing specifications from day-to-day repairs to planned investment programmes

- Contractor Management in line with JCT Contracts

- writing dilapidation reports

- undertaking Stock Condition Surveys

CLOSING DATE: 10 June 2024 at midnight, with a proposed interview date of 18 June 2024. We reserve the right to close this advert early if a successful candidate is found, so please submit your application as soon as possible. Successful candidates will already have the right to live and work in the UK.

An inclusive workplace: We are committed to policies and practices of equity, diversity, and inclusion and to supporting our people to make sure our culture is consistent with this commitment. We encourage applications from people from all sections of the communities that we serve.

Accessibility: If you require assistance or have questions regarding the application process, please contact us.
