Clerk of Works

Clerk of Works – Home-Based
Location of sites: South of the River & Southern Home Counties

I’m working with a respected multi-disciplinary consultancy seeking an experienced Clerk of Works / Site Inspector to join their team. This is a home-based role, covering residential and refurbishment projects across South London and the Southern Home Counties.

You’ll play a key role in ensuring construction quality, compliance, and workmanship standards are consistently maintained. Working independently, you’ll visit sites regularly, monitor progress, and produce clear, detailed reports for clients and project managers.

The Role

• Undertake regular inspections of new build and refurbishment sites

• Monitor progress and verify compliance with drawings, Building Regulations, and warranty standards

• Identify and report on defects, discrepancies, and construction quality issues

• Manage snagging, de-snagging, and end-of-defects inspections

• Produce accurate, photo-supported inspection reports

• Maintain up-to-date site records and QA documentation

About You

You’ll have strong technical knowledge of building construction and a keen eye for detail. You’ll be confident liaising with contractors, consultants, and clients to uphold quality and compliance on every project.

MICWCI membership is highly desirable, but if you’re not yet chartered, you must be willing to gain this status in the role. Full support and guidance will be provided.

You need to be able to be relatively easily accesible to the sites you will access, all will be South of the river so it is advisable that you live in South London or in the Southern home counties

Requirements

• MICWCI membership (desirable) or commitment to achieving it

• Excellent understanding of building construction and quality standards

• Familiarity with JCT and NEC contracts

• Experience using inspection/reporting software (e.g. Field View, PlanRadar)

• Full UK driving licence and access to transport

The Offer

A full-time, home-based Clerk of Works position offering flexibility, autonomy, and professional development. You’ll work on a variety of residential and mixed-use schemes, supported by an established consultancy known for its technical quality and integrity.

If you’re a Clerk of Works, Site Inspector, or Construction Quality Inspector looking for your next step, this is a great opportunity to develop your career with professional backing and real flexibility.
