Winsearch UK is proud to partner with a specialist contractor in the roofing, cladding and wider building envelope sector, who is looking to add a Technical Surveyor to their technical team.
This is a hands-on role sitting between site surveys, technical design, drawing coordination and material scheduling.

The role

You'll then turn that site information into technical layouts, drawing briefs and material schedules, working closely with draughtspeople, site teams, manufacturers and suppliers to make sure projects are measured, drawn, ordered and delivered properly.
This role will be mixed between office and site based work - you'll be regularly visiting sites, working at height, taking measurements, recording details and helping resolve technical queries.

This role will suit someone practical, accurate and technically minded.
You'll need to be confident going to site, taking ownership of surveys, spotting issues and bringing the right information back into the business. Just as importantly, you'll need to be organised and detail-focused, as mistakes in measurements, drawings or material schedules can have a direct impact on cost and programme.
