What’s great about the role?

• Make a meaningful impact: Your surveys and insights will help us invest in the right homes, in the right way, at the right time.
• Enjoy variety and learning: Get involved in everything from stock condition surveys to energy assessments and large-scale property data work.
• Support to grow: We provide full training for Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) and offer development opportunities to become a PAS2035 retrofit assessor – helping improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon across our homes. We’ll also support you in working towards professional qualifications such as RICS or CIOB.

Where does this role fit in?

As an Asset Surveyor, you’ll gather and analyse property data to inform investment decisions, energy improvements, and ensure we meet the Welsh Housing Quality Standard (WHQS). Working within our strategic Asset Management team, you’ll support stock investment, disinvestment, and optimisation — including surveys, appraisals, design solutions, and remedial specs — helping us maximise the financial, social, and environmental value of our homes. You'll gain experience across large-scale property management, including stock condition surveys, data analysis, and Energy Performance Certificates, all while working with a team passionate about sustainability and community. Together, you’ll help shape the future of our housing stock and ensure every pound we spend brings real value — financially, socially, and environmentally.

• Has experience in carrying out Stock Condition Surveys, ideally in social housing.

• Holds a HNC/HND in Building Studies or Building Surveying, or has equivalent experience.
