You'll have:
- Building surveying, repairs or property maintenance experience.
- Strong technical knowledge of building defects and repair solutions.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
- Experience managing contractors and ensuring value for money.
- A relevant degree, HNC/HND, or be working towards a building surveying qualification.
