Description
An excellent opportunity has arisen for an experienced Surveyor to join a well-established social housing organisation on an initial 2-month contract, with the potential for a longer-term opportunity.
Working within the Asset Services team, you'll play a key role in delivering high-quality surveying services across a portfolio of approximately 7,000 homes, helping to resolve complex repairs, support leaseholders and improve customer outcomes.

Location: Liverpool (Hybrid Working)
Pay: £22.50 PAYE / £29.88 Umbrella
Contract: 2-Month Contract (Potential to Extend)

The Role
This is a varied, customer-focused position where no two days are the same. You'll be responsible for carrying out inspections, diagnosing building defects and managing complex repair cases while working closely with internal teams and contractors to deliver excellent service. The role also supports planned investment and stock condition activities.

- Building Surveying

Working Pattern
- Hybrid working (approximately one office day per week following induction)
- Site inspections across Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Northampton and Carlisle
- Majority of travel focused around Liverpool and Manchester
- Up to four days per week visiting sites
- One day typically allocated to administration and reporting
