Job Description

Damp & Mould Building Surveyor
Social Housing Temporary (Ongoing) Up to £40 per hour
Office-based - Derbyshire Immediate Start

We're working with a well-established social housing provider in Derbyshire who is looking to bring in an experienced Damp & Mould Building Surveyor to support their housing stock on an ongoing temporary basis.

This is a long-term contract with a strong potential to convert to a permanent role for the right person.

The Role
You'll play a key role in identifying, diagnosing, and specifying remedial works for damp, mould, and condensation issues across a varied social housing portfolio. The role is predominantly office-based, with site visits as required.
Key responsibilities include:
  • Carrying out damp & mould surveys across occupied social housing stock
  • Diagnosing causes (penetrating damp, condensation, rising damp, etc.)
  • Producing clear, detailed survey reports and specifications of works
  • Recommending remedial solutions in line with best practice and HHSRS
  • Liaising with internal teams, contractors, and residents
  • Supporting compliance with current housing standards and legislation
About You
We're keen to speak with surveyors who have:
  • Proven experience surveying damp & mould issues within social housing
  • A strong understanding of HHSRS and housing condition standards
  • A background in building surveying, property inspection, or a related discipline
  • The ability to produce professional reports and clear work specifications
  • Excellent communication skills and a practical, solution-focused approach
Relevant qualifications (RICS, CIOB, HNC/HND, or equivalent experience) are desirable but not essential if you have strong hands-on experience.
What's on Offer
  • Up to £40 per hour (DOE)
  • Ongoing temporary contract
  • Immediate start available
  • Office-based role in Derbyshire
  • Potential permanent opportunity
