Building Surveyor
Here at North West Leicestershire District Council, we are investing in our communities, and the homes of our council tenants are key to that. This new Building Surveyor role goes beyond the technical.

We are looking for two individuals who bring a blend of building expertise, planning know-how and a genuine commitment to customer engagement. We’re working not just on our tenants’ homes; we are working with our tenants. We want to empower and educate our tenants as we make their homes more energy efficient, safe and a place they call home and thrive and enjoy living in.

About the Role
You will be the professional and technical advisor within the Responsive Repairs, Voids, and Minor Works Team, leading on defect diagnosis and resolution (including damp and mould) through accurate surveying, scoping, and reporting, while supporting the preparation of specifications and contract documents to ensure the effective delivery of the work to the council’s domestically rented portfolio in line with consumer standards.

Your day could include:
  • Undertaking condition surveys and diagnostic inspections.
  • Preparing specifications, tender documents, and managing contracts from start to finish.
  • Engaging with tenants and leaseholders to explain works, gather feedback, and ensure satisfaction.
  • Hosting workshops to educate staff, tenants, and elected members.

About You
We are looking for an experienced professional in the housing or construction sector, with a strong grasp of building pathology, contract management and housing standards. You must be comfortable working independently, taking initiative and problem-solving in a fast-paced environment.

We’re particularly interested in people who are:
  • Confident in engaging with residents and stakeholders
  • Skilled in both technical surveying and project delivery
  • Passionate about housing sustainability and improving people’s lives
  • Experienced in local authority or social housing settings (desirable but not essential)

  • 36.25 hrs per week with an annual salary of £41,771 - £46,142
  • Agile working scheme with a combination of home and office working (this job requires a minimum of 3 days per week working from the office)
  • 34 days holiday (including bank holidays) increasing to 38 days after 5 years (full time equivalent)
  • Attractive Local Government Pension Scheme with at least 25% employer’s contribution
  • Employee benefits programme’ including payback on medical, dental and optical expenses
  • Continued training and development opportunities
