At Tulip Recruitment, we are seeking an experienced Building Pathologist to join our team. This is a full-time role that requires the successful candidate to be based in the Wiltshire and Hampshire region. The ideal candidate will have expertise in building pathology and experience in damp investigations.

The primary focus of this role is to complete damp, mould, and disrepair surveys, identifying building defects, and completing further investigations to accurately diagnose and rectify any faults including damp remediation. As a Building Pathologist, you will specify works for clients and manage contractors to ensure all works are completed to a high standard and in good time.

A key aspect of this role is producing high-quality condition reports of each property that solicitors can rely on in court. You may also be required to appear in court as a witness if needed. Additionally, you will support the team of Response Surveyors by completing comprehensive damp investigations in problematic properties, providing advice and training to other members of the team, and handling complaints.

To be successful in this role, you will need to have relevant technical qualifications (HNC or higher) in Building, Surveying, damp remedial works, or similar technical fields. Alternatively, you must be able to demonstrate 6 years plus of experience within this sector.

You will also require a strong working knowledge of Disrepair legislation, the Landlord Tenancy Act 1985, Homes for Habitation, and HHSRS assessments. Time management and experience in working to deadlines, while maintaining performance and budget targets, are essential skills for this role.

We offer a competitive salary of around £45,000 - £55,000 per annum, depending on experience, and a range of benefits including access to a company vehicle. If you are a confident user of IT, particularly MS Word, and comfortable with producing written reports and floor plans, we would like to hear from you.
