building control jobs
The demand for building control jobs in both the public and private sectors remains buoyant and experienced staff are much sought after. Adverse economic conditions will however have an impact on building control jobs as the costs associated associated with building/development projects become increasingly greater.
Value of RICS membership for building control jobs
The scale of qualifications and experience needed to gain a role within Building Control are surely widening. Local authorities are especially looking for people with lots of experience within industry and have a relevant University degree. Being a member of The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) would also be a wise and beneficial choice for candidates.
The career progression path normally taken by workers already in the industry typically starts with as a trainee Building Control Officer (graduate) moving on to Building Control Officer, Senior Building Control Officer, Principal/Team Leader and finally Head of Building Control. The same goes for Building Control Surveyors and other jobs in building control.
