Conducting in-depth surveys utilizing specialist equipment to assist in the diagnosis of disrepair issues and any minor structural defects. Carrying out ‘joint surveys’ with other expert witnesses to agree on required remedial works (for Scott Schedules) and estimate the value of works required. Project managing remedial works including site visits and audit inspections to ensure that specifications and quality standards are complied with. Arranging, preparing, and distributing relevant repair information to the legal team on request and attending court in the capacity of expert witness. Obtaining accurate and detailed information about necessary repairs/improvements to properties, and undertaking a range of surveys, including Stock Condition, Energy Efficiency, HHSRS, Legionella, and Asbestos. To be successful in this role, you will have:
A recognised building qualification (HNC or equivalent minimum). Experience working in a social housing environment, dealing with contracts and contract management. Experience and knowledge of Disrepair protocol and resolving claims. An understanding of and experience with the application of the HHSRS legislation.

Knowledge of legal and regulatory requirements, Health and Safety, CDM, Asbestos at Work, Party Wall Act, etc. Experience using IT applications and Microsoft software such as Excel, Word, and Outlook. It is important to us that we have a diverse workforce, representative of the communities we work in. Equality, diversity, and inclusion are important to us, and we like to acknowledge that everyone is different. We’re always looking to improve diversity within our teams and across the group, so we would welcome any applications from any underrepresented groups. The SHG “Be You” approach sums up our belief that everyone has the right to be who they are, and to be that person at work, in line with SHG’s Values. We’re always looking to improve diversity within our teams to enhance this culture and to be truly representative of the communities we work in. This role will be on Stockport Homes Limited terms and conditions. For an informal chat about the position, please contact Chris Hannon (Assets Manager) on chris.hannon@stockporthomes.org.
