An opportunity has arisen to join Burnley Council’s Building Control Service as a Senior Building Control Surveyor. You will carry out an important function within the Council’s well established Building Control Team running a defined area within the Borough of Burnley and Padiham. You will be expected to be capable of dealing with the full range of projects within class 2a-2f, dangerous buildings under section 77, 78 of the Building Act and associated enforcement activities.  You should also be willing and able to assist with the training and supervision of our Trainee RBI in conjunction with our other Senior Surveyor and the Class 3G-H Registered Building Inspector.

In recent years Burnley has seen significant economic and housing growth and an effective highly competitive Building Control Service is at the heart of the Council’s vision to make Burnley the first choice for business investment and as a place to live. An effective team of Registered Building Inspectors is the foundation of delivering a quality Building Control Service for residents and business in the Town. 

It is essential you have RBI level 2a-2f and have a thorough knowledge of Building Regulations and associated legislation.  It is also essential you have experience of working within the construction industry and you must be able to demonstrate the full range of duties expected of a Building Control Officer.

You must have excellent communication skills together with the ability to present the Building Control Service to customers.  You must also be able to keep accurate and meaningful records of the work undertaken.

If working in a busy building control section that has recently been successfully reviewed by the BSR, appeals to you, then we can offer you a diverse and interesting challenge that will support your ambitions. We value our employees and offer a generous pension scheme, holiday entitlement and work/life balance initiatives.
