You’ll be part of our new trainee BI cohort; you and other new colleagues will start your journey with us together and receive excellent training.

We will arrange and pay for your overnight accommodation when you come to the Academy.

You’ll become a qualified Building Inspector, working with our registered builders to ensure that the new homes they are building meet the NHBC Standards, Building Regulations and other relevant legislation. We’ll encourage you to build excellent working relationships with the site managers on your patch, working with them to identify and prevent construction defects.

You’ll be keen to learn, happy to keep your knowledge up to date and have a strong desire to build a successful career in house building. You’ll be personable, able to build and sustain effective working relationships with your customers. In due course, you’ll also have the technical know-how to be credible, provide guidance where it’s needed and be assertive enough to stand your ground if you discover something that needs to be addressed.

**Education and Qualifications**

***

It would be great if you have / are working towards a construction related qualification such as City and Guilds, HNC, HND or NVQ (or equivalent)

**What our people say -**

‘When I joined NHBC as a trainee BI, I was really excited. It was a great opportunity for me to gain more technical knowledge and experience.

The mixture of classroom based, and mentor led inspections was a great mix. I was able to get a real feel for the role and to see first-hand what you might come across as an Inspector. It's great being out on-site learning and developing new skills. I really enjoy working with the site teams to deliver great new homes.’
