The Damp & Mould Surveyor is responsible for inspecting, diagnosing, and managing cases of damp, mould, condensation, and associated building defects across the organisation's housing portfolio. The role ensures that homes are safe, healthy, and compliant with statutory requirements and organisational standards. Working closely with residents, contractors, and internal teams, the postholder will identify the root causes of defects, specify appropriate remedial works, oversee delivery, and contribute to improving the quality and condition of the housing stock. Key Responsibilities The postholder will undertake inspections of occupied and void properties where damp, mould, condensation, water ingress, or related defects have been reported. They will carry out detailed assessments using sound building pathology principles to determine the underlying causes of defects and distinguish between condensation, penetrating damp, rising damp, plumbing leaks, structural issues, and other forms of moisture ingress. The role requires the preparation of comprehensive inspection reports, including clear recommendations and specifications for remedial works. The postholder will provide technical advice to colleagues, contractors, and residents and will ensure that proposed solutions address the root cause of the issue rather than simply treating visible symptoms. The Damp & Mould Surveyor will raise works orders, prepare schedules of work, monitor contractor performance, and undertake post-inspections to ensure repairs have been completed to the required quality, within agreed timescales, and in accordance with organisational standards. The postholder will ensure compliance with all relevant legislation, regulatory requirements, and organisational policies relating to housing conditions, landlord responsibilities, health and safety, and building regulations.
