I am recruiting for a Building Inspector to work with my public sector client based in the Stockport and assist it regulatory obligations.

**The role**

Whether you are undertaking a new build, an extension or making structural alterations to your home, you’ll need Building Regulations approval from your local building inspector.

Building Inspectors determine the structural soundness of buildings and construction projects. They are responsible for inspecting and assessing the structural quality of a building and ensuring compliance with zoning regulations, national building codes,and contract specifications.

We are recruiting for a qualified Building Inspector for construction and building inspections. As a Building Inspector, you will be required to conduct inspections before, during, and after construction to ensure that the building and construction sitecomplies with safety, structural, and building code regulations. You will also be required to issue violation notices, stop-work orders, and permits for construction.

To succeed you should have advanced engineering and construction knowledge, a keen eye for detail, and the ability to make difficult decisions. Ultimately, a first-class Building Inspector quickly spots safety and structural issues and can make clear decisionswithout emotional influences.

- Under the Building Safety Bill there will be a requirement for the post holder to become a Registered Building Inspector at competence levels B and ideally C. Competence level A would not attract this grade.
