Location: Colchester
Prime Appointments is partnering with a growing consultancy seeking an experienced Building Surveyor to join their team. The company works closely with housing providers and property owners, delivering detailed inspections, safety reports, and structural assessments aligned with the latest building safety regulations.
This is a hands-on position that combines site inspections with technical reporting. You'll be out on-site identifying defects, collaborating with Fire Engineers and Building Safety Consultants to prepare Building Safety Case reports and fire strategies. The role also involves supporting and mentoring junior team members to ensure projects progress smoothly.
What you'll be doing:
Conducting thorough property surveys and site inspections
Identifying and diagnosing structural issues such as cracks and water ingress
Writing detailed condition surveys, risk assessments, and safety reports
Supporting the development of Building Safety Cases and fire strategies
Advising clients on maintenance plans and compliance requirements
Mentoring junior colleagues on site and promoting best practices
Staying up to date with current legislation and industry standards
What we're looking for:
Background in building surveying or structural engineering
Strong ability to identify and explain building defects clearly
Experience with risk assessments and safety-focused reporting
Knowledge of structural modelling and load path analysis
HNC, degree, or equivalent qualification in a relevant discipline
Experience with Building Safety Case reports is a plus, but not essential
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys a blend of practical site work and detailed technical reporting and wants to contribute to important safety-led projects. The company offers flexible working arrangements and strong support for professional development.
