We are seeking a proactive, reliable, and flexible Building Inspector to join the Building Control team. In this role, you will be inspecting construction sites at various stages, advising on regulatory requirements, and working collaboratively with architects, builders and developers to ensure safe, structurally sound, and code-compliant buildings.

Prepare detailed compliance documentation and provide consultancy services – Produce comprehensive inspection reports, compliance certificates, and regulatory approval documentation, maintain accurate records ensuring traceability and compliance with local authority requirements, and assist clients with Building Regulations consultancy advice where SOCOTEC is not acting as the Registered Building Control Approver.

To be a successful Building Inspector, you should be able to demonstrate: Professional qualification and regulatory registration at senior level – Hold membership of RICS, CABE or equivalent (or be qualified by suitable experience), ensure CPD requirements are met to broaden and develop skills, and demonstrate compliance through registration as an RBI at an appropriate level (3G/3H). Excellent communication and client relationship management skills – Demonstrate strong interpersonal and relationship-building abilities to work effectively with clients and deliver excellent client care across all interactions and project engagements. Self-starting problem-solver with technical expertise – Show ability to work independently as well as part of large project teams, analyse complex issues, develop suitable solutions, implement these solutions effectively, and keep up to date with changes in building codes, regulations, and industry best practices.
