Job Title: Senior Building Surveyor (Qualified)
Hours: 35 hours (full time)
Location: Finsbury Park, N4
Salary: £56,195 per annum
Contract: Permanent
This role is based at the organisation’s Head Office but there is some flexibility to work in a hybrid way if preferred.
Requirements
Are you a qualified Building Surveyor who cares as much about people as you do about properties? Do you believe that everyone deserves a safe, warm, and well-maintained home? If so, you might be just the person we need. This organisation is on the lookout for a Senior Building Surveyor who's ready to roll up their sleeves, dive into projects, and a person who enjoys collaborating with colleagues.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a qualitied Surveyor to join the Assets and Repairs Team that makes up one element of the wider Housing and Neighbourhoods directorate. The team is led by an Assets and Repairs Manager with a small team of Repairs and Maintenance Advisers, a Disrepair Coordinator, two Surveyors and a Senior Building Surveyor. Whilst the team may be small, they’re perfectly formed.
It’s an interesting and varied role for someone with a passion for keeping homes safe, decent, and future-proof—whether that means identifying structural issues, managing planned maintenance, or working with residents to make sure they feel heard and respected. It’s important to us that you’re someone who keeps residents, and their homes, at the heart of your work.
There’s a lot of positive changes happening at the organisation, and within the team, so now is a great time to join so you can be involved, have influence over those changes, and see the beneficial impact they will have over the next 12 months. There are plenty of opportunities for you to shape this into a role you’ll love.
This role will suit you if you have an eye for detail, a head for problem-solving, and ideally, a sense of humour—because they promise there will be blocked drains, pressing deadlines for report submissions, and occasional out of hours work to deal with resident emergencies. You need to be ready for anything, which means working flexibility to find solutions, alongside facilitating the delivery of excellent repairs, voids and planned works.
The organisation is not just looking for a surveyor. They’re looking for someone who sees the bigger picture—and wants to be part of it.
Some key responsibilities include:
- Supporting Building Surveyors with problematic jobs to ensure a successful outcome.
- Ownership and responsibility for service-related complaints, disrepair cases or queries from customers ensuring that the customer experience is positive, professional and within set timescales.
- Authorising works and approve payments ensuring suppliers are paid in accordance with terms of contracts.
- Resolve disputes and queries promptly and ensure the organisations interests are always protected.
- Carrying out post-works inspections on a proportion of completed works to assess quality of work, value for money and tenant satisfaction.
About The Organisation
They are a small but ambitious housing association at a critical juncture. Their ambition is for the communities they are anchored in and exist to serve, and they have done and achieved much over the past few years. But in these challenging times they know they’ll achieve nothing unless they are equally ambitious for their own people.
Their values are at the heart of who they are and everything they do, inspiring their thinking and guiding Their actions. They strive to build a more diverse organisation, where everyone feels empowered to bring, and be, their best self to work.
They can’t be a brilliant landlord if they don’t partner with brilliant colleagues. Could you be one of them and be trusted to make the difference?
If this sounds exciting, they want you on the team. Please do apply.
Staff Benefits
The organisation will offer you a generous pension scheme (up to 10% employer matched contributions and a death in service benefit), 29 days annual leave (increasing after five years’ service), eye care vouchers, a cycle to work scheme and other great benefits. They have an evolving wellbeing offer, that is being developed following employee feedback, and they will invest in your professional development with on-going training and career development opportunities.
Inclusion and Diversity
The organisation wants to be a great place to work and to ensure that their communities are represented across the workforce. A vital part of this is ensuring they are a truly inclusive organisation that encourages diversity in all respects, including diversity of thinking. They particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and those of Other Ethnicities, LGBTQ+, disabled and neurodiverse communities to make a real difference to their residents so that passionate commitment to customers, respect for everyone, pride in the team and trusted to make the difference remains at the heart of everything they do.
