WRG has recently partnered with an independent construction consultancy that operates across the North of England. The business has ambitious plans for developing their Building Regulations Principal Designer service this year and is looking to appoint an experienced and competent building regulations professional, ideally someone who has previously worked as Building Control Surveyor/ Building Inspector or similar capacity.
