Job description

MRICS Building Surveyor – Housing Disrepair & Expert Witness Contract

West & East Midlands Region | Flexible Workload | Full Administrative Support | Outside IR35

I'm currently working with an established Housing Disrepair and Expert Witness practice that is looking to expand its panel of contract/freelance surveyors across the West & East Midlands.

This opportunity would suit experienced MRICS Building Surveyors with experience in Housing Disrepair, residential surveying and/or Expert Witness work who are looking to undertake additional instructions within their local area.

The client provides a comprehensive support structure, allowing surveyors to focus on inspections and technical reporting rather than administration.

Administrative Support

A dedicated in-house team manages:

• Instruction allocation and management

• Appointment booking and diary coordination

• Communication with tenants, solicitors and instructing parties

• Chasing access and supporting documentation

• Report formatting and quality review

• General administration throughout the lifecycle of the instruction

This allows surveyors to focus on carrying out inspections and producing reports.

Requirements

• MRICS
• Building Surveying background
• Housing Disrepair experience advantageous
• Expert Witness experience advantageous but not essential
• Strong report writing ability
• Ability to undertake inspections within your local area

Why Consider It?

• Adhoc inspections worked around your current diary.
• Outside IR35 position, meaning you can be paid through your own Ltd Company or self employed.
• Flexible workload that can often be accommodated around existing commitments
• Full administrative support
• Established and growing instruction pipeline
• Opportunity to undertake Expert Witness work
• Long-term ongoing instruction stream

If you'd be interested in hearing more, please submit your CV for a confidential discussion.
