Compartmentation Surveyor
Salary: £35,000–£50,000 per year + expenses
We are looking for an experienced Compartmentation Surveyor with broad technical knowledge and, in particular, strong experience in firestopping and passive fire protection.
This is not a beginner role. We are looking for someone who can hit the ground running, work independently and use their experience and initiative to identify issues that may not always be immediately obvious.
The Role
The role will involve carrying out compartmentation surveys across the UK, so the successful candidate must be comfortable with regular travel and staying away from home when required.
You will be expected to:
- Attend sites across the UK and carry out detailed compartmentation surveys.
- Survey entire buildings or work to specific requirements and briefs set out within FRAs or by the client.
- Use your technical knowledge and experience to identify defects, deficiencies, and areas of concern, particularly relating to firestopping.
- Identify missing or relevant documentation and have the confidence to ask for information where it is available or should reasonably be provided.
- Complete detailed and accurate survey reports based on your site observations.
- Produce a thorough introduction and site overview, particularly where relevant information or documentation has not been made available.
- Make appropriate duty of care comment recommendations based on your findings.
- Provide remedial estimates. Our software automatically prices works based on SORs, but there will be occasions where professional judgement and logical application of the information will be required.
- Take responsibility for the quality and accuracy of your surveys and reports.
- Use initiative to identify problems, seek further information, and determine the appropriate course of action.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Fire Door Surveying
Experience in fire door surveying would be advantageous but is not essential.
The successful candidate will occasionally be required to undertake fire door surveys, and training can be provided where necessary.
What We’re Looking For
The ideal candidate will have:
- Proven experience carrying out compartmentation surveys.
- Strong technical knowledge of firestopping and passive fire protection.
- A good understanding of compartmentation principles, construction, and common fire-stopping systems.
- The ability to interpret and apply information from FRAs, drawings, specifications, and other available documentation.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- The ability to produce clear, detailed, and technically accurate reports.
- Strong attention to detail.
- The confidence to work independently and make informed decisions on site.
- A proactive approach and a high level of initiative.
- The ability and willingness to travel throughout the UK and stay away from home when required.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Once fully trained and approved, you will also have the opportunity to edit and develop surveying templates where required. We are looking for someone who can contribute to improving the surveying process rather than simply following a set template.
In Summary
We need an experienced surveyor who understands what they are looking at, knows what questions to ask, and can make sound professional judgements when information is incomplete.
If you have strong compartmentation and firestopping experience, are confident working independently, and are looking for a role where your technical knowledge and initiative are valued, we’d like to hear from you.
