Please note this role does not attract sponsorship.
About you

You must be registered with the Building Safety Regulator as a building inspector, with demonstrable competency to work without supervision on high-risk buildings (HRB's) (Class 3 category G, H).
The post holder must be capable of examining Principal Designer plans, undertake site inspections; compile reports and keep written records to justify decisions made in relation to the practical applications of the building regulations (Building Safety Act 2022).
You must have excellent written and oral communication and presentation skills and the ability to engage with all levels clearly and concisely, self-motivated and a productive team player who is able to coordinate work activities to maximise service delivery.
You must be a Member of a relevant professional body such as RICS, CABE, CIOB or equivalent with relevant Building Control bias and evidence of achieving CPD requirements.
The successful candidate will need to be educated to degree level in a relevant subject such as Building Control, Building Surveying, Construction, Structural Engineering and/or be able to demonstrate learning at an equivalent level.
Please ensure your supporting statement demonstrates your experience and knowledge in order for your application to be considered.

Application Process
Because of the nature of this job, it will be necessary for the appropriate level of criminal record disclosure to be undertaken. This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and therefore applicants are required to declare all unspent cautions and convictions; and also any adult cautions (simple or conditional), and spent convictions that are not protected as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (as amended in 2020). A person's criminal record will not in itself prevent a person from being appointed to this post. Applicants will not be refused posts because of offences which are not relevant to, and do not place them at or make them a risk in, the role for which they are applying. However in the event of the employment being taken up, any failure to disclose such offence, as detailed above, will result in dismissal or disciplinary action by the Authority.
