You'll join a Local Authority in Suffolk in a senior position overseeing a team of Chartered Surveyors and Technical Officers, while taking a lead role across responsive repairs, planned maintenance and major capital programmes. It's a role for someone who is comfortable operating at a senior technical level but also wants to influence how services are delivered, support colleagues and have a voice with senior management and elected Members. There's also a genuine focus on professional development, with support available for those looking to progress towards or achieve RICS accreditation, where applicable. Key Duties and Responsibilities: You'll lead and manage a team of Chartered Surveyors and Technical Officers, overseeing workloads, programming, performance and development. Alongside the people management, you'll remain involved in the technical and strategic side of the service, including: Manage and lead a team of Chartered Surveyors and Technical Officers, including work allocation, programming, performance management, and appraisals.

Oversee and undertake feasibility studies, cost estimates, drawings (CAD), specifications, and contract documentation.

Prepare reports for CMT and Executive, providing clear professional and technical advice to senior leadership. Coordinate training and provide technical guidance to non-technical staff. Lead on the development, implementation, and monitoring of major housing policies and strategies, including presenting proposals to the Executive when required. About You You'll be an experienced Building Surveyor with a strong background in housing maintenance, capital works and project delivery. You'll have the technical credibility to provide advice at a senior level, but equally important is your ability to lead people and work effectively with senior stakeholders. You'll be comfortable managing teams, setting priorities, dealing with performance issues and supporting the development of surveying professionals. You should also have experience managing significant budgets and complex projects, alongside a strong understanding of statutory requirements and compliance within a housing environment. The role involves regular interaction with senior management, Councillors, contractors and external stakeholders, so you'll need to be confident communicating complex technical information clearly and professionally. Experience with CAD and relevant surveying software is also required.
