- Providing technical input into business cases, governance reporting and stakeholder discussions
- Ensuring compliance across Building Regulations, Building Safety, fire safety and relevant standards
- Supporting technical assurance, sign-off, and resolution of technical issues during construction
- Ensuring robust handover documentation warranties, certification, compliance records and supporting post-occupancy reviews
About you:
- Proven experience in housing development, regeneration, building surveying, construction or strategic asset management
- Strong background in feasibility, due diligence and option appraisal
- Confident managing consultants and coordinating design development
- Comfortable providing technical assurance, compliance oversight and quality review
- Degree (or equivalent) in a relevant built environment discipline (building surveying, construction, architecture, property, development and asset management.)
- MRICS / MCIOB (or equivalent) beneficial, and local authority / housing association experience highly desirable
