This is a client-side role where you’ll help deliver new build housing and major refurbishment projects, ensuring quality, compliance, and value for money. You’ll work with contractors, consultants, external and internal clients to deliver multiple projects to create homes that meet the needs of our communities.

  • Ensure compliance with CDM Regulations and other statutory duties.
  • Monitor contract performance using IT systems and track against KPIs.
  • Manage defect resolution and oversee end-of-defects inspections.
  • Coordinate site inspections, snagging, and handover processes.

 

🎯 What We’re Looking For

  • Experienced Employer’s Agent or Quantity Surveyor in social housing
  • HND/Degree in Quantity Surveying or related discipline (or equivalent experience)
  • Strong knowledge of CDM regulations, Building Control, and housing construction
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office and document sharing platforms
  • Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple projects
  • Valid UK driving licence and access to a vehicle (Essential Car User allowance applies)

  • Competitive salary and benefits package
  • Opportunities for professional development
  • Modern offices and flexible working arrangements
