Building Control Technical Administrator

Support the delivery of complex construction projects and help shape a safer built environment.
Are you an experienced Building Control Administrator, Technical Administrator, or Construction Administrator looking to join a highly respected industry leader?
Bureau Veritas is seeking a technically minded administrator to support our Building Control team, working alongside Registered Building Inspectors and technical specialists on a diverse portfolio of commercial and residential projects across the UK.
This is more than a traditional administration role. You'll play a key part in the Building Control process, ensuring projects remain compliant, statutory notices are issued correctly, inspections are coordinated efficiently, and clients receive an exceptional service throughout the project lifecycle.

- Setting up and administering Building Control projects from appointment through to completion and certification
- Managing Building Regulation applications, statutory notices, initial notices, plans certificates, and final certificates
- Coordinating site inspections and maintaining accurate project records
- Liaising with clients, architects, developers, contractors, designers, and local authorities
- Preparing fee proposals, technical correspondence, and project documentation
- Monitoring project progress and supporting surveyors with compliance and administrative requirements
- Producing reports and management information to support operational performance
- Maintaining Building Control databases and document management systems
- Supporting invoicing, contract administration, and commercial processes
- Ensuring documentation is completed accurately and in line with Building Safety Act and Building Control requirements
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.
