Building Consultant - Subsidence
Job Location: London/Southeast
Job Type: Permanent
Remuneration: Competitive salary taking into account skills, experience and qualifications
We have a fantastic opportunity for Building Consultants in London/Southeast England and across the UK.
You'll manage a portfolio of domestic and commercial subsidence claims from notification to conclusion, requiring skills or qualifications in diagnosis, mitigation, and repairs. You will work within our award-winning Subsidence Services Division, involving communication with other team members and service providers.
Our service is provided either using digital technology for remote from site diagnosis and meetings throughout the UK, or on-site face-to-face diagnosis and visits in your local area. Successful candidates should be comfortable operating with both services, although preferences will be considered, dependent on capacity requirements.
If you're looking for a role where you can work from home and the office, but also visit sites in your local area, this could be perfect for you. While we are predominantly looking for candidates in the London/Southeast region, we are also open to candidates across the UK.
