- Prepare technical documentation such as specifications, drawings, floor plans, tender packs and cost estimates to support planned and major works programmes.
- Ensure full regulatory compliance, including CDM, building regulations, planning requirements, and health and safety legislation.
- Manage contractors and stakeholders, overseeing contracts and site inspections, monitoring quality and value for money, and liaising with landlords, insurers and other third parties.
- Support service improvement and governance, contributing to procurement, policy development and data analysis, participating in the out-of-hours on-call rota, and championing safeguarding and health & safety best practice.

About you:
As Asset Surveyor, you will share Papworth Trust’s values and be committed to equality, inclusion and social change, with a strong understanding of the social model of disability and confidence working in occupied homes with tenants who have diverse needs. You will have proven experience delivering surveying services, managing contractors, and overseeing planned and reactive maintenance programmes, alongside a professional, organised and pragmatic approach.
You will bring a minimum of three years’ experience as a surveyor, strong knowledge of building construction, repairs and maintenance, and a sound understanding of CDM, building regulations and health and safety compliance.
