Stock Condition Surveyor

**The role**: You will need experience in stock condition surveying, inspecting domestic properties and blocks, ideally within the social housing sector. You will complete internal and external measurements, aiding and notifying our Surveying Works Team in diagnosing causes of building defects relating to fabric and structural failure or poorly performing assets of domestic dwellings and blocks of flats. Ideally, you will also be able to conduct surveys for Energy Performance Certificates (EPC’s). Surveys are to be undertaken in line with our 5-year cycle or ad-hoc as instructed. This will be to ensure that we have robust asset information to forecast any long-term investment requirements.

You will be joining our dedicated aspirational Strategic Asset Management team and will play an instrumental part in helping us to better understand our stock and improve our stock intelligence, ensuring our homes provide customers with great places to live.

**What we are looking for**: You need to be self-motivated, organised and enjoy being mobile (as you will be driving around to inspect properties), capable of managing your own diary whilst delivering surveys to monthly targets, as part of our ambitious cyclical stock condition programme. You will have keen attention to detail and demonstrable experience & understanding of both Decent Homes and HHSRS (Housing Health & Safety Rating System). A positive and professional approach to a diverse customer base is essential as well as a full current driving licence and your own vehicle. Business mileage will be paid at the prevailing rate, currently 45p per mile less home to work journey and in line with our expenses policy.
