Opportunity

This is a fantastic opportunity for a Building Surveyor in Cardiff or Newport to carry out Level 3 and Level 2 home surveys and other related works for a variety of residential clients.

The role

We offer great work-life balance and job satisfaction, carrying out high-quality level 3 and level 2 building surveys for private residential clients. Our patches are tailored to our surveyors’ home addresses to avoid excessive time on the road, and our home-working set up means the hours are flexible. The work is varied, and admin is minimal – our head office does all the leg work with report production, so our surveyors can spend their time doing what they do best: surveying on site.

This is a great opportunity for someone looking for a role where they can have more control over their work and what they do. As an independent company, we have the flexibility to shape the job according to what you are looking for. If you want to get involved in growing the business and liaising with clients then we can facilitate that. If an excellent work–life balance is your priority, then the role is ideal – our surveyors often schedule surveys to allow them to do school drop-offs/avoid rush-hour etc.

There could even be a possibility of progressing to partnership, for the right person and apart from the site visits the role is home-working, with no timesheets.
