The candidate must be experienced in these types of projects, in terms of both design, regulations, and also site experience * We are also a surveying practice, but I assume it will be difficult to find a candidate that also has surveying skills. Our main surveying work is party wall surveying, tendering, project management and contract administration * Experience working on RIBA stages 0-7 * Highly professional, personable and well organised * Sound knowledge of the UK Building Regulations, planning policies, and Planning application processes * Enjoys and keen to take on responsibility - we are a small company so they have a great opportunity to grow with the company, and also have a broad role with opportunity to experience aspects of projects and the business in general (ie. they will have a broad variety of work and won't simply be churning out the same thing every day) * Role will be hybrid working, a typical week would most likely be 1 day out on site, 1-2 days working from home, 2-3 days in the office
