• Maintain accurate records in the job management system, completing all entries on time and to the required standard.

• Proven experience in a surveying role within construction, fire safety, building fabric, or a closely related discipline.
• Strong attention to detail — accurate and thorough in recording, reporting, and documentation.
• Comfortable working independently across multiple sites, managing your own schedule and travel.
• Good understanding of building construction, fire doors, and passive fire protection (preferable).
• Clear and professional communicator — comfortable engaging with clients, residents, and site representatives.
• Proficient in Microsoft 365 and comfortable using mobile survey and job management tools.
• Based within commutable distance of Cornwall, Devon, or Somerset.
• Full UK driving licence.
