Building Inspector (Warranty Surveyor)

Building Inspector (Warranty Surveyor)

Location: West Sussex 
Salary: £45,000 – £65,000 (DOE) + Car Allowance + Bonus + Benefits

Confido Consult is partnering with a well-established organisation in the Building Control and Warranty space to appoint a Building Inspector / Warranty Surveyor across the South Coast and surrounding areas.

Guided patch: Chichester to Worthing, up to Crawley and Croydon, across to Fleet and Petersfield, then back towards Chichester

This is a fantastic opportunity for a Registered Building Inspector (Class 2A/2B preferred) or an experienced surveyor from a Warranty or Building Control background looking to develop within a supportive and flexible environment.

The Role

You will manage your own diary and oversee a portfolio of new-build residential developments, combining both Warranty and Building Control responsibilities.

Key duties include:

• Conducting site inspections across a range of new-build housing and apartment schemes
• Carrying out risk assessments on new applications and reviewing plans
• Issuing technical feedback and amendment reports to developers
• Managing inspection requests within agreed timeframes
• Planning site visits efficiently across your regional patch
• Completing reports and administrative tasks remotely

The role offers a high degree of autonomy, with most surveyors spending 4–5 days on site, often finishing inspections early afternoon and completing paperwork from home.

About You

• Ideally a Registered Building Inspector (Class 2A/2B preferred) or working towards registration

• Background in building control or warranty surveying
• Strong understanding of residential construction and compliance
• Able to carry out inspections independently from day one
• Keen to learn and develop within a growing team
• Full UK driving licence

 Candidates at lower levels (including L1 or those early in their career) will be considered if they have a solid knowledge base and are committed to achieving RBI registration.

What’s on Offer

• Salary £45,000 – £65,000 (DOE)
• Car allowance (£5.5k/yr) or salary sacrifice scheme
• Enhanced pension (up to 10%)
• Annual bonus
• Private healthcare
• Flexible, home-based working
• Clear progression opportunities within a growing business
