Job description

Trainee Fire Door Surveyor – Train to become a certified Fire Door Inspector

Location - South / Midlands (With travel + occasional overnight stays)

Salary - Starting £26k + Company van + Bonus

A fantastic opportunity has arisen here at NEO Property Solutions as we look to grow our Surveying team. The successful candidates will travel to customer premises throughout the UK to survey the site and report back ready for our team of joiners and fire stoppers to complete the installations.

This is an ideal role for someone with a Building Services degree that is looking for that first step into the industry, or an experienced Fire Stopper / Joiner that would like to move away from the tools.

The role requires a mix of great customer service skills, good administration, and a keen eye for attention to detail.

The role:

In the role of Fire Door Surveyor, you will visit multiple building types comprising student accommodation, housing association premises, care homes, public buildings, schools, supermarkets, and universities to perform condition surveys on fire doors.

In the case of occupied housing blocks, this will include flat entrance doors, where you will be required to meet predetermined access protocols and customer care procedures when liaising with customers and gaining access to perform your surveys.

The surveys you perform will be collated through the use of "Bolster" software accessible through a smart phone application. Once located on floor plans, each door will be tagged, enabling you to assess condition against a series of prompts and approved repair techniques. Taking approximately 10 minutes to complete, each survey will require you to obtain measurements, supported by photographic records.

Often working on your own, you will be required to maintain regular contact with your line manager and members of our planning team to maintain records of outputs, validate survey results, and finalize reports before submission to our clients.

The role will suit motivated team players with good organization skills, knowledgeable in survey work, who use initiative to meet predetermined targets.

Key Skills:

• Full UK driving licence
• IT Literate (Able to use a tablet / mobile devices + Microsoft packages)
• Strong communication skills (Written & Spoken English)
• Great customer service skills (Able to adapt depending upon the situation)
• Attention to detail

Desirable skills:

• Building surveying qualification
• Previous experience in either Fire Stopping or Fire Door fitting
• Recognised qualifications in fire door inspection e.g., BM Trada / FDIS / BRE

What you get:

• Full training
• Long term career with progression

• Medicash healthcare cover
  • Opticians / Dental / Pharmacy
  • Discounted holidays
  • Discounts on weekly shopping
  • Discounted Gym membership
