As an employer, we are committed to fairness, respect, and creating a stimulating environment where our people can thrive.

Building Surveyor - The Role:

At CBC, we take pride in managing some of Cheltenham's most iconic buildings and structures. From over 4,500 council homes to historic listed buildings, leisure centres, swimming pools, war memorials, and even a football stadium, our portfolio reflects Cheltenham's rich heritage and vibrant community.

Our Property Team oversees everything from day-to-day maintenance to multi-million-pound redevelopment projects. Right now, we're making record investments to enhance these special places, delivering innovative sustainability initiatives, refurbishing properties, meeting new legislative standards, and spearheading exciting new-build projects.

We're investing in our Property Team as much as we are in our properties, and we'll make sure you'll never stop learning and progressing here. Working with like-minded, equally passionate professionals, no two projects are the same and each will bring its own challenges and its own opportunities.

  5. To provide scrutiny and challenge to contractor costs, standard of work and timeliness of resolution of issues.
  6. To build and maintain positive relationships with tenants, leaseholders, service managers and other key stakeholders who use our buildings.
  7. To identify when more specialist contractors are required to deal with building issues.
  8. To be proactive in proposing changes to our processes to deliver value for money from our buildings and our building service.
