Know the difference between a job that looks right and one that’s actually been built right?

We are working with an established, highly regarded multidisciplinary construction consultancy looking to appoint an experienced Clerk of Works / Senior Clerk of Works to join its team.

Undertaking snagging, de-snagging and end-of-defects-liability inspections
Checking works against contractual drawings, employers' requirements, warranty standards and Building Regulations
Maintaining accurate project records and working within established QA proceduresWho Are We Looking For?

You'll need a strong understanding of building construction and the confidence to recognise when something isn't right.
Importantly, you must be a member of either the Institute of Clerks of Works and Construction Inspectorate (ICWCI) or Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB). You don't necessarily need to have progressed to full Member grade.
You'll also need:

Excellent knowledge of building construction processes
Knowledge of standard construction contracts, including JCT and NEC
Experience with tablet-based inspection software such as Field View or PlanRadar
Strong written reporting and communication skills
Good organisation and time management
Full UK driving licenceThe Opportunity
This role would particularly suit someone who has developed strong technical knowledge through Clerk of Works, Site Management, Construction Management or Building Inspection and now enjoys concentrating on the thing that ultimately matters – the quality of what's actually being built.
