As Repairs Surveyor you’ll manage and deliver high-quality repairs and minor works across our homes. You’ll undertake property surveys, diagnose building defects, and prepare detailed specifications to ensure repairs comply with legislation and professional standards. You’ll coordinate works between our property service repairs team and external contractors, ensuring efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and customer satisfaction. You’ll work closely with our repairs supervisors to support them on a day-to-day basis with technical enquiries as well as managing your own repairs and projects, carrying out pre/post/work in progress surveys to determine what repairs and maintenance works are needed.
Alongside surveying, you’ll also be responsible for contractor management, including monitoring performance against KPIs, holding regular contract meetings, and ensuring compliance with H&S policies.
