We are looking to appoint a Senior Building Control Surveyor to join our Building Control team at Bromley.
There has never been a more exciting time to join the Housing, Planning and Regeneration Division in the London Borough of Bromley.

As outlined in our new Corporate Strategy 'Making Bromley Even Better', we are committed to supporting people to make their homes in Bromley and for business, enterprise and the third sector to prosper.
We are looking for a Class 2F Registered Building Inspector.
Bromley’s Building Control Service has embarked upon a program of improvements that will increase customer and public confidence in what we do and ensure customers receive the optimum level of service. Examples of these improvements include:
• Migration of our IT system to a more efficient and customer friendly system in 2025
• Increasing the number of surveyors to provide a more resilient and reactive service to meet to customer demands
• Development of trainee Class 1 Registered Building Inspectors
The focus of the work of the Senior Building Control Surveyor is dealing with a day-to-day management of an area for plan checking and carrying out site inspections. This will involve working with other Council services to deliver improvements to our existing buildings such as leisure centres, libraries and housing projects.
The ideal candidate will be Class 2F registered and working towards Class 3. You will have experience in building control project management for residential and commercial developments as well as experience in dealing with dangerous structures.

You will provide supervision to the Class 1 RBI’s at plan checking and site inspection stages.
The service operates a flexible approach to remote working; however you will be required to carry out site inspections within the borough on a daily basis and take a turn on out of hours standby for attending and dealing with dangerous structures within the Borough.
