The National Building Conservation Team are a forward-looking team of buildings professionals who are passionate about caring for the Trust’s diverse portfolio of structures both historic and modern. Although we are one of the Trust’s Central teams, managed from Trust HQ at Hermiston Quay, individual team members are dispersed across all parts of the Scottish mainland, supporting 4 Regions and our role is all about collaborating and supporting local Operations Teams.
Our Regional Offices are:
- Edinburgh & East: Hermiston Quay, Edinburgh
- Highlands & Islands: Balnain House, Inverness
- North-East: Crathes Castle, Aberdeenshire
- South & West: Culzean Castle, South Ayrshire / Greenbank House, Glasgow

What this job is about
The Building Surveyor is the senior buildings and conservation professional in each Region. The Building Conservation Team delivers direct support to the regional management and operations teams, under the management and supervision of the Head of Building Conservation.
Each Region is supported by a Building Surveyor (2 posts in the South & West) and a Maintenance Surveyor, who between them support Trust property and conservation operations by delivering conservation maintenance activities to ensure that our buildings are fit for purpose, safe and welcoming for our visitors, meet legislative standards of compliance and deliver the Trust’s charitable purposes. The Team operates through a consultancy model with Building and Maintenance Surveyors aligned to a client group of properties to allow them to develop expertise in the history, significance, care and operation of those properties.

You will undertake condition surveys, identify and diagnose defects, specify and schedule works and develop options for remediation. This includes ensuring that all works specifications, contracting and project management and construction activities are compliant with legislation and Trust technical, Health & Safety and Conservation standards and policies.
