Career progression is available. If you are appointed as Senior (Grade H) you will automatically progress to Principal (Grade I) on achievement of the Essential Job Requirements of Principal.
The Job:
We are experiencing a sustained uplift in the number and variety of Building Regulations application we receive in this fast-growing District. We are seeking a Senior or Principal Surveyor with a minimum registration of class 2D who can work on all the application types we receive and give support and guidance to the less experienced members of our small but dedicated team and mentor them towards higher registration classes.

The successful applicant will be appointed on a grade according to his/her ability to meet the Essential Job requirements.
This is a career graded post. If appointed to the Senior position progression to Principal will follow as soon as the Essential Criteria of the Principal position are met.
The Person:
You will be self-motivated, able to work largely without direct supervision and be able to take the initiative on many aspects of the work you will be asked to do.
The role is suitable for hybrid working but you will be expected to be in the office at times on request.
