Building Control Manager
Full Time – Permanent
Location: Lynton House, IG1 1NY
Redbridge is an ambitious, diverse and exciting east-London borough. What we do is driven by changing our relationship with local people to support our vision. As a result, we've developed innovative ways to build our communities and transform our Council.
The London Borough of Redbridge is situated on the outer fringes of North-East London with an excellent transport network including rail and tube links into central London, while at the same time enjoying several square miles of Green Belt land.
The Building Control section is part of the Place, Communities and Enterprise Directorate and plays an important enabling role in ensuring high quality development.
This is an exciting opportunity to lead a busy Building Control section with a well-established track record of good performance.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated individual, who is committed to delivering quality customer-focused services to our clients. If you have a sound building industry background with a degree in Building Surveying or equivalent, and would like to move to an interesting and challenging profession, where sustainability and climate change issues will increasingly feature, we would welcome hearing from you.
You will be responsible for an area of the borough and your duties will involve managing a team, dealing with unauthorised works / dangerous structures / demolitions, providing advice to clients, involvement with sustainability and climate change issues as well as addressing the requirements of a Building Control Body in relation to the regulatory requirements set out by the Building Safety Regulator.
Good IT and communication skills, as well as the ability to work as part of a team or on your own initiative and meet deadlines, will be important. You would be expected to hold membership of an appropriate professional body (i.e. Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors or Association of Building Engineers).
