Planned Maintenance Surveyor

Core focus of the role

As a Planned Maintenance Surveyor, you will be the lead surveyor for your allocated region, taking ownership of planned maintenance projects from initial survey through to completion.

• Surveying homes and developing forward planned maintenance programmes
• Writing clear, practical specifications and scopes of works
• Procuring and managing contractors and professional consultants

• Managing budgets, forecasts, and programme reporting
• Supporting energy efficiency, fabric-first improvements, and Net Zero works
• Delivering major works across Community Living schemes, including M&E upgrades
• Retaining accountability for outcomes, whether projects are delivered directly or via external contract administrators
• This is a regional role with frequent site visits and occasional overnight stays. Attendance at the Westminster office is typically required around once per month for team meetings and collaboration.
