Want to be part of our community? We’re currently recruiting a Repairs Surveyor to join our Disrepair & Surveying Team within Property & Estate Services.

 

What you’ll achieve in the role 

 

As a Repairs Surveyor, you’ll play a key role in delivering a high-quality, customer-focused repairs service. You’ll take ownership of a varied caseload of repair and disrepair issues, ensuring problems are diagnosed accurately, resolved efficiently, and communicated clearly to customers.

 

You’ll help prevent escalation and complaints by taking a proactive, right-first-time approach—coordinating works, managing contractors, and seeing complex repairs through from investigation to completion.

 

Key responsibilities include:

  • Surveying homes to diagnose repair and disrepair issues, identifying root causes and appropriate solutions

  • Specifying, costing, and project managing repair works and minor projects across a range of property types

  • Coordinating contractors, operatives, and suppliers to ensure works are delivered safely, on time, and to standard

  • Resolving customer queries and complaints on site, providing clear explanations and practical solutions

  • Ensuring accurate and up-to-date records are maintained within property and job management systems

  • Supporting compliance with landlord responsibilities, health & safety requirements, and Section 20 consultations where applicable

  • Contributing to service improvement by sharing insights and lessons learned

What you’ll bring to Raven: 

 

For this role, you will have:

  • A relevant technical qualification in building surveying, construction, or property maintenance (e.g. CIOB, IRCS) or equivalent demonstrable experience

  • Strong knowledge of building maintenance, repair diagnostics, and construction standards

  • Experience surveying residential properties and managing repairs or small works projects end to end

  • The ability to communicate technical issues clearly to non-technical customers

  • Experience working with contractors and resolving customer complaints effectively

  • High attention to detail and confidence using property or job-tracking systems

  • A full, clean UK driving licence (company van supplied)

 

You’ll also share our values: being open and accountable, working collaboratively, listening with an open mind, and genuinely caring about making things better for our customers and communities.
