Professional indemnity insurance must be in place, or the ability to demonstrate suitable cover where required. Desirable Experience Previous experience working with social housing providers, local authorities, housing associations, and solicitor-led instructions would be highly advantageous.

Specialist experience in damp and mould investigations would be beneficial, together with knowledge of CDM regulations and health and safety compliance. The ability to undertake drone inspections would also be considered an advantage. Personal Attributes The ideal candidate will be highly organised, self-sufficient, and capable of managing multiple instructions and deadlines independently. You should demonstrate strong attention to detail, commercial awareness, and a pragmatic approach to problem solving. Professionalism, credibility, and confidence when dealing with legal teams, barristers, solicitors, and clients are essential, alongside an objective, evidence-led approach to inspections and reporting. You must be comfortable operating in formal legal environments and presenting evidence with authority and clarity. Deliverables Expected The successful surveyor will be expected to deliver inspection reports within agreed service level agreements together with full photographic evidence and defect schedules.
