Job Description

Interim / Contract Position Available - £350 Per Day

Your new company
As an experienced technical surveyor, you will join a forward-thinking local authority that is committed to maintaining high standards across its housing portfolio. With a strong focus on resident wellbeing and quality of property, as well as compliance with housing regulations, your new employer is investing heavily in proactive solutions to tackle damp and mould issues amongst others across the residential stock.

Your new role
You will be responsible for inspecting council-owned residential properties, identifying issues, recommending clear and actionable solutions. You will work closely with a framework contractor to ensure timely and effective remediation and resolution. This role will require presence in Oxford, as you'll be visiting multiple properties to undertake inspections on a weekly basis, as well as attending in-person meetings with the contractor.

What you'll need to succeed

  • Proven experience in surveying residential properties with a focus on damp and mould.
  • Excellent communication skills to engage with tenants, contractors, and other internal teams.
  • A proactive and positive attitude and a willingness to be present and hands-on in the role.
  • A great understanding of housing maintenance and repair processes.
  • Ability to work independently and manage your own inspection schedule.

What you'll get in return
  • Competitive rate per day of £350 (via umbrella).
  • A minimum of a six-month contract, which is highly likely to extend beyond this point.
  • The potential to progress to a permanent role moving forwards.
