We are looking for an experienced and motivated Registered Building Inspector (Domestic) – Class 2A to support the delivery of safe, compliant and high-quality building control services across our partner authorities.

In this role, you will take ownership of a portfolio of domestic projects, working independently to carry out plan checks, undertake site inspections and deliver proportionate enforcement actions where required. You will provide clear, practical and professional regulatory guidance to clients, contractors and colleagues, helping to ensure compliance with all relevant legislation and standards. 

You will also play an important role in maintaining high professional standards, responding to dangerous structures and contributing to the continuous improvement of the service. Alongside this, you will support the development of others by mentoring trainee inspectors, contribute to the Quality Management System and OSR compliance, and ensure accurate record-keeping and case management at all times. Building and maintaining positive relationships with partner organisations and internal team will be central to your success.

With effective communication skills, you will be able to engage clearly and professionally with a range of stakeholders. You will be proficient in building control software, with the ability to manage your workload independently, accurately and with a high level of diligence. 

Why Join Us?

As part of our team, you will enjoy a range of employee benefits, including free onsite parking, employee discounts, a competitive holiday allowance, wellbeing initiatives, and the opportunity to join the Local Government Pension Scheme.

You will be joining a progressive and supportive organisation that is committed to making a positive impact on the communities we serve.
