Home, a place where you belong
As our Maintenance Specification Surveyor, you’ll work closely with the Maintenance Contracts Manager, combining your technical knowledge and practical maintenance experience to create clear, consistent specifications that help colleagues and contractors deliver safe, high-quality work right first time.
You’ll have the scope to shape standards across Home Group, bring maintenance thinking into projects before work starts, and challenge the repeat problems that affect our customers and homes.
What you’ll do
- Review and redesign maintenance specifications to make them clear, consistent, practical and future focused.
- Work in close partnership with the Maintenance Contracts Manager and colleagues across development, delivery and planned maintenance.
- Develop and manage a robust, group-wide library of specifications using NBS Chorus.
- Bring maintenance requirements and lessons learned into new projects, products and delivery models at an earlier stage.
- Champion standardisation that improves quality, compliance, and the customer experience.
- Use your judgement to challenge outdated approaches and recommend better, longer-lasting solutions.
