c£80,000\nWest Midlands\n\nA leading building control consultancy is looking for experienced Registered Specialist Building Inspectors to join a high-performing team at the heart of one of the UK's most active construction markets. These are substantive, permanent roles offering genuine variety, strong job security, and a benefits package that the private sector rarely matches. \nThe organisation Our client occupies a genuinely unusual position in the market. Operating at the intersection of public-sector rigour and private-sector commercial practice, they deliver building control services across a major English city whilst simultaneously acting as an Approved Inspector on a portfolio of significant retail, leisure, and commercial projects. It is a model that gives the team — and the individuals within it — the best of both worlds: the stability and purpose of public service alongside the pace, variety, and client exposure of consultancy work. \n The city itself is one of the most significant construction markets outside London. Regeneration is ongoing at scale, with major investment flowing into commercial, residential, and mixed-use development. There is no shortage of interesting work, and that is not expected to change. \n The role You will manage and inspect a varied caseload of projects, working across a wide range of building types and construction methods. The complexity on offer here goes well beyond what most single-sector roles can provide — one week may involve a technically demanding commercial shell-and-core, the next a large-scale mixed-use scheme at planning gateway stage.\n \n The team operates collaboratively. You will work alongside architects, structural engineers, fire engineers, and other consultants rather than in isolation, which makes for richer work and faster professional development. Senior colleagues are accessible, knowledge-sharing is embedded in the culture, and the organisation invests meaningfully in CPD rather than treating it as a box-ticking exercise. \n You will be trusted to manage your own time and caseload. The organisation operates a genuine hybrid model with a city-centre base used typically one to two days a week, and a flex-time policy that gives you real control over how your working week is structured. \n \n Why this over private practice? It is a fair question, and the honest answer is: stability, benefits, and breadth. The defined benefit pension scheme alone represents a material financial advantage over most private-sector alternatives. Job security is real. Annual leave is generous. And because the team operates across both local authority and approved inspector work, the caseload diversity is something that a purely private or purely public role simply cannot replicate.\n\nProfessional fees are covered. Development is funded.
