Your life as a surveyor
You'll be part of our growing business carrying out residential valuation reports for lending purposes, together with private home survey inspections.

You'll be absolutely dedicated to meeting deadlines because you know we always keep our promises to clients. And if residents are home when you visit, you'll enjoy chatting to them and acting as something of an ambassador, taking the opportunity to make sure they're happy and committing to getting any issues sorted.

Maintain service and quality requirements to company standards
Report performance issues in key areas to the relevant line manager
Adapt to the changing business needs of the company and our clients to utilise new products and valuation/inspection techniques
