What You'll Be Doing:
Conducting site inspections and identifying structural or safety defects
Diagnosing issues such as cracking, water ingress, and structural movement
Writing detailed condition surveys, risk assessments, and safety reports

Clear understanding of common building defects and how to resolve them
Experience writing risk assessments and technical reports
Familiarity with structural modelling and load path analysis
HNC, degree, or equivalent in a relevant field
Experience with Building Safety Case reports is desirable, but not essential
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys a balance of independent remote working and on-site technical involvement, all while contributing to meaningful, safety-driven projects. The company offers flexibility, professional development support, and the chance to be part of a close-knit and growing team.
