We have an exciting opportunity for a Building Surveyor Inspector with extensive experience to join the Premium Services team within Building Consents, to specialise in Reclad Inspections.

 

Reporting to the Team Leader Reclad Field Surveying, you will provide technical advice and contribute to the re-clad process for all consents, applying key principles and deliverables for the Building Control team and legislative requirements.

As a go-to person on everything technical, you will be key in determining when Consents have demonstrated compliance with the Building Code and subsequently approving the issue of the consent. A large scope of your role involves cladding, external envelope, and weather tightness to not only ensure the integrity of the building but its ability to keep exterior elements out and interior elements inside.

  • Inspect building work to ensure compliance with building consents, building codes, building consent authority’s ‘BCA’ policies, and other legislative requirements, and make appropriate technical decisions on inspection outcomes
  • Help increase customer understanding of the building code and Council processes by providing accurate and timely advice in a customer centric manner
  • Apply sound reasons for decisions and maintain accurate, robust records of inspections
