The Role
Are you ready to make a real difference in people’s lives while building a rewarding career? At Raven Housing Trust, we’re passionate about creating safe, healthy homes for our residents—and we’re looking for someone who shares that commitment.
As a Building Safety Surveyor, you’ll join a forward-thinking compliance team tackling some of the most important challenges in housing today. This is your chance to play a key role in improving living conditions and shaping services that truly matter.
This is more than a job—it’s an opportunity to be part of a team that values innovation, collaboration, and customer focus. At Raven, we empower our people to lead with purpose. You’ll join an organisation that values belonging, ownership, and collaboration—where your voice matters and your impact is felt across our communities. We’re proud of our inclusive, supportive culture and our commitment to professional development.
What you’ll be doing
In this role, you’ll play a crucial part in ensuring our teams have the tools, knowledge, and processes they need to deliver a high-quality service. You will:
- Ensure surveying, inspection, and remedial works are delivered effectively, maintaining accurate maintenance schedules and achieving agreed standards for quality, cost, and timescales.
- Lead the procurement and delivery of compliance contracts, ensuring excellent performance, value for money, and customer outcomes, while providing technical and project management expertise.
- Provide technical oversight of planned maintenance projects, ensuring designs, materials, and delivery comply with building regulations, CDM requirements, health and safety standards, and Section 20 consultation obligations.
- Provide expert guidance on emerging legislation, regulatory changes, and best practice in building safety, fire safety, and compliance, driving continuous improvement across Raven.
- Attend and respond to serious building safety and repair emergencies, including out-of-hours call-outs where required.
