As a Small Works Surveyor, you will take ownership of a varied portfolio of small-scale projects, property refurbishments and individual property renovations, ensuring that repairs, improvements and adaptations are delivered efficiently, safely and to a high standard. Working as part of the Technical and Investment team, you will help maintain and enhance our housing stock.
You will undertake property inspections and surveys, develop specifications and scopes of work, obtain quotations, and manage projects from inception through to completion. This includes overseeing contractors on site, monitoring quality, programme and costs, and ensuring all works are delivered in accordance with health and safety legislation, statutory compliance requirements and Council policies.

The role requires strong customer focus and stakeholder engagement, as you will work closely with residents, contractors and colleagues to resolve issues, minimise disruption and achieve positive outcomes. You will also maintain accurate property records and ensure that asset information is updated to support effective investment planning and decision-making.

This is an excellent opportunity for a proactive and organised surveyor who enjoys managing projects, solving problems and making a tangible difference to residents’ homes and communities.
