Hello.
An exciting opportunity to join our Building Safety team within Property Services.

An exciting opportunity has arisen and we are looking for two Building Surveyors (Fire Safety and Compliance), as we expand our Property Services Team to ensure we remain compliant and keep our customers safe.

Come and join our new team

At Karbon we build, manage and look after homes for people across the North. And then we go further, we give them the strong foundations they need to crack on with life. We want to build better lives for our customers, not just better homes. Everything we do is for their security, health and happiness under their own roofs, in their communities and out there in the wider world.

Since our formation in 2017, we’ve been focused on delivering on our three strategic aims – to provide as many good quality homes as we can; to deliver excellent service to our customers; and to shape strong, sustainable places for our communities .

Our footprint covers the North East of England and Yorkshire, south from the Scottish border to almost as far as the Humber, where diverse communities face differing opportunities and challenges.

Some customers just need an affordable home, or a way onto the property ladder. Others might need a bit more – financial advice, community services, sheltered accommodation or even training that can lead to a new job. Whatever people need to feel more secure, confident and happy with where they’re at, we work our heart out to provide it.

• Generous benefits package including 26 days annual leave pro rata on commencement rising to 31 days after 3 years’ service, occupational pension, flexi-time scheme, health cash plan, and birthday leave, with the option of a flexible pot towards enhanced benefits

In this role you will be part of our building safety and compliance team responsible for delivering a high-quality, cost effective service that keeps our customers and partners safe in relation to fire safety, water hygiene and other aspects of property-related landlord compliance to ensure we meet all statutory and non-statutory safety responsibilities.

A large proportion of the role will be focused on fire safety, particularly the delivery of reactive and planned works deriving from fire risk assessments.

You will be expected to work collaboratively with colleagues across Karbon, customers, contractors and other stakeholders to ensure our custome rs and homes are safe.

Whatever your background you will need to be comfortable working within an organisation which seeks to balance a strong business head with a social heart.
