Building Consultant - Subsidence

Job Location: London/Southeast 

Job Type: Permanent 

Remuneration: Competitive salary taking into account skills, experience and qualifications 

We have a fantastic opportunity for Building Consultants in London/Southeast England and across the UK.

You'll manage a portfolio of domestic and commercial subsidence claims from notification to conclusion, requiring skills or qualifications in diagnosis, mitigation, and repairs. You will work within our award-winning Subsidence Services Division, involving communication with other team members and service providers.

This is perfect for someone who is comfortable with both digital technology for remote diagnosis and face-to-face site visits. 

The skills you will have when you apply: 

  • Driving Licence: A full UK Driving Licence is essential as you must be able to travel by car.
  • Professional Qualifications: Working towards or have a chartered building professional qualification, e.g., MCIOB, MRICS, MICE, and ideally an insurance qualification, e.g., CILA or CII.
  • Expertise: Comprehensive expertise in identifying and diagnosing structural defects and subsidence in buildings, understanding prevention methods to halt ongoing damage, and applying effective repair techniques, particularly for subsidence-related issues and drainage systems.
  • Insurance Claims Handling: Experience in insurance claims handling is a plus, but training will be provided.
  • Customer Service: Ability to make decisions, deliver excellent customer service, and communicate effectively with empathy.

The skills that will be developed once working: 

  • Comprehensive Training: You'll receive all the Sedgwick-specific training needed to excel in your role.
