Description
Experienced Building Control Surveyor – Meridian Consult
Contract: Permanent, Full-time
Location: Midlands, Greater Manchester or surrounding areas
Salary: Competitive
About Us
Founded in 2003, Meridian Consult is a leading Registered Building Control Approver operating throughout England and Wales. We provide Building Control services across a wide range of projects, from domestic alterations and residential developments through to complex commercial, healthcare, education and multi-million-pound schemes. Our experienced team supports clients from design through to completion, delivering a responsive, professional and customer-focused service.
Part of the Celnor Group
Celnor Group is a UK-based environmental services group operating across the Testing, Inspection, Certification and Compliance (TICC) landscape. With a growing portfolio of specialist businesses, Celnor provides essential services that protect people, property and the environment. While each business retains its own identity, culture and technical specialism, all are supported by a central group function that invests in people, systems and long-term sustainable growth.
About the Role
Due to continued growth, we are seeking experienced Building Control Surveyors to join our team. We are particularly interested in speaking with Registered Building Inspectors at Class 1, Class 2A or above, as well as those actively working towards higher registration classes.
Our diverse project portfolio provides exposure to a broad range of developments, including projects that many surveyors may not have the opportunity to work on elsewhere. This gives our team the experience required to progress through registration classes while continuing to develop their technical knowledge and expertise.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
