Job Description

Building Surveyor - Remote with Site Visits Up to 65k
Location: Colchester

Prime Appointments is working with a fast-growing consultancy that partners with housing providers and property owners to deliver thorough inspections, safety reports, and structural assessments in line with the latest building safety regulations.

This is a hands-on role for an experienced Building Surveyor who enjoys a mix of remote technical reporting and site-based inspections. You'll be identifying building defects, supporting the development of Building Safety Case reports, and collaborating with Fire Engineers and Safety Consultants to deliver high-quality safety strategies. You'll also play a key part in mentoring junior colleagues and helping projects move forward effectively.

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

  • Assisting in the preparation of Building Safety Cases and fire strategies

  • Providing clients with guidance on maintenance and compliance

  • Supporting and mentoring junior staff during surveys

  • Keeping current with building regulations and industry developments

What We're Looking For:

  • Solid background in building surveying or structural engineering

  • 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.
