Surveyor BC&E

So, you’re a Building Surveyor on the search for a new job. You’ve assessed the job market but haven’t yet found the right fit. How about an exciting role working on a military estate in support of our Army customers? Join a great team at Aspire Defence Services…

As a B&CE Surveyor, you should have experience within the commercial built environment, and be able to assess the condition of building elements/fabric, suggesting when they should be replaced. Specialist knowledge in one or more construction or hard Facilities Management disciplines will come handy in this role, and you should understand estate management on large estates.

Identifying and analysing defects and dilapidations and scrutinising proposals for repair are crucial aspects of this job. This includes the ability to carry out feasibility studies and to articulate compelling reports, which means you need to be IT literate on MS Office as well as the use of tablets.

Another key responsibility of this role is the preservation/conservation of historic and listed buildings. And you should be able to advise team members on all required works to meet changes in legislation/standards.

In addition, knowledge of CAD (version LT 2013), RFHI survey, familiarity with SPONS/SOR’s and detailed knowledge of the construction industry would be desirable to be successful in this role.

But first, meet the team…

With a 35-year contract, making soldiers’ lives better is at the heart of everything we do at Aspire Defence Services.

Seriously, picture a heart (the real one) and imagine how hard it works to keep the body running, making sure every part gets exactly what it needs to thrive. That’s our mission; to deliver a modern, fully serviced, flexible working environment for soldiers.

And just as the heart needs certain parts to keep the body alive, we need the dedication and commitment of our people to support our customers. We deliver a broad range of services for one-third of the British Army living and working on our patch, and we're proud of the work we do.

We’re all about nurturing great teams, and our award-winning safety and wellbeing initiatives are built on keeping an eye out for one another and having a good work-life balance.

In addition to being part of our team, you’ll also get…

• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays, as well as the option to buy and sell holiday
• Contributory Company Pension Plan matched up to 6%, plus individual life insurance
• Tools to support you in your new role
• Uniform and PPE
