We are offering the opportunity to learn on the job to gain a level 4 and level 5 diploma in building control surveying. On completion you'll have the skills and qualifications required to progress to become a fully qualified professional in the construction industry.

Preston is a vibrant city with a rich history, beautiful landscapes, and a thriving cultural scene. Boasting a wide range of domestic buildings and commercial projects, Preston has something to offer any surveyor, whether you wish to focus solely on domestic surveying work in an urban or rural setting or manage a multitude of development sites across the construction spectrum within the city which is currently growing with many new and high-quality developments.

We offer hybrid working for these positions and although these posts are being advertised as full-time roles, we are a flexible employer and will consider applications from candidates who would prefer to work part-time or more flexibly.
