Clerk of Works - #1118822

Job Description

This Building Services Clerk of Works post will see you joining the estates team that manages a large portfolio of properties that includes laboratories, meeting spaces, catering facilities and IT areas across the Bradford region.

You will need to have either a mechanical or electrical building services engineering background and if you have experience across working on both sides that would be ideal.

The role will see you getting overseeing works on capital schemes ranging from new build, extension and refurbishment works through to long term maintenance projects; it's a varied role and if you consider yourself to have "been there, done that and bought the T-shirt" this Building Services Clerk of Works is for you.

On a daily basis you will be:

- Liaising between the design team, contractors and other interested parties regarding progress, quality and any variations between what is on site and within the brief
- Carrying out snagging and helping decide the best course of action to rectify issues
- Maintain a works diary of deliveries, people, issues and other matters of importance for each project
- Use your knowledge to flag up potential issues and provide input to ensure smooth progress.

You'll also be getting involved with survey works, commissioning and generally have the opportunity work with buildings from the cradle to the grave; it's a super role if you want to take ownership and get to know a portfolio of buildings well.

It is expected that you will have a HNC/HND or equivalent in a Building Services related discipline and have spent time working on the tools in either a maintenance or installation role before progressing into a supervisory position.

Given the nature of the post it goes without saying that you will need to be up to date with UK design, health and safety and compliance requirements while being comfortable writing reports and making recommendations.

If you have worked as a Building Services Clerk of Works previously that will be useful, as would working in an in-house position with a university, hospital or similar organisation.

On offer is:

A salary up to £44300 depending upon your qualifications and experience
Excellent holiday package
Flexible working (including being able to accrue extra holiday days)
Enhanced pension scheme
Wide ranging tax free/friendly benefits such as cycle to work and discounted shopping vouchers
Personal training and career development plan

The role itself will see you mainly working within walking distance of a central site in Bradford minimising your commute and traffic frustrations while using your Clerk of Works knowledge on a mix of older and cutting edge buildings.
