You won't just be doing that, there's also: Response repair surveys, Mutual exchanges, Minor works surveys, investigating damp, condensation and mould to name a few. At times you may also be responsible for overseeing minor works, refurbishment work and general surveying. There'll be plenty of opportunities for you to share your knowledge and advise on construction defects and the like, all helping us to ensure we deliver a great customer service.
