Heritage Building Surveyor
Posted 2 days 7 hours ago by HAYS
Are you passionate about preserving the UK's historic architecture?
We are currently working with a client who is looking for a skilled and experienced Heritage Building Surveyor for a 9-month fixed-term contract, to carry out inspections and produce high-quality reports for Grade II-listed buildings and dwellings.
The role involves visiting a variety of historic sites, assessing condition, and guiding conservation-led repair recommendations.
Daily duties will include:
Conducting detailed inspections of Grade II-listed buildings, assessing structural condition, traditional materials, and conservation priorities
Compiling reports that advise stakeholders on maintenance requirements and best conservation practices in line with Historic England guidance and local authority regulations.
Collaborating with a range of stakeholders, including homeowners, conservation officers, architects, and heritage organisations.
Giving advice which will balance historic integrity with practicality and recommending appropriate repairs with a focus on minimal intervention and long-term preservation.
This is a home-based role which offers flexibility, but will involve travelling regularly (sometimes with overnight stays) and sites are based across the South East and South West of England.
The role would suit someone who has hands-on experience of surveying historic buildings, a strong understanding of traditional materials and construction techniques, and a deep knowledge of heritage legislation and planning processes.
A degree or postgraduate qualification in Building Conservation, Historic Building Surveying, Architecture, Heritage Management, or a similar field and/or professional membership (such as IHBC, RICS with Building Conservation Accreditation, CIOB, or RIBA) would also be advantageous.
