Property Surveyor

**About The Role**:
At Fareham Borough Council we are serious about investing in our Housing Property team and as a result an exciting new opportunity has arisen.

To support a recent recruitment drive we are now looking to recruit a new Property Surveyor (Planned Maintenance). In this role we will want you to deliver a wide range of planned maintenance programmes of work, consisting of cyclical improvements, major repairs, compliance work and supplemented by a range of small to medium size projects for the Council’s housing portfolio.

Taking works from feasibility and investigation, onto development of a proposal through to delivery, hand over and finally to completion of the defects you will procure, coordinate and project manage the complete process.

As you will be working from either the Civic Offices or Council Depot you will benefit from working within a relatively small geographical area with the chance to get involved in many different and exciting projects

**About You**:
It is important that you have a building construction, building maintenance or project management background, preferably backed up with qualifications to at least HND level in Construction, Surveying or Building Management. Forthcoming qualifications or equivalent experience would be considered.

As well as having a detailed knowledge of building trades, contract management and health and safety you will have some understanding of the planning process and procurement policies as well as a good understanding of specifications, bill of quantities, schedules of work/rates and architect’s drawings.

It is also vital that you have a customer orientated approach with good communication skills, the ability to work with tact and diplomacy but above all a sense of pride and determination to do a good job.

**About Us**:
Fareham Borough Council is a great place to work. The low staff turnover and high number of employees that have worked here for 20 years or more is testament to this, and you would be joining an organisation that has a real family feel to it.

We take pride in receiving feedback from others who say we are a friendly and professional organisation. We aim to attract, develop and retain the very best people to carry out the work required.

In return, you would be joining a well-managed Council. We offer a great pension scheme, authorised parking, flexible working and a car lease scheme to name a few of the benefits of working for us.
