What we offer

  1. Diverse Projects: Work on a variety of challenging projects, you will only be working on commercial developments, from high-profile builds including larger bespoke transformations.  Individually, you will typically work on 30 to 40 projects resulting in you having more control and more time to deliver.
  1. Supportive Culture: Collaborate with over 50 passionate Class 3 Registered Inspectors who will both mentor and inspire you, with a successful Apprenticeship scheme bringing in fresh talent.  Work life balance and staff wellbeing are at the very heart of Sweco culture.

We really do have a lot to offer in our Building Control team. Because of the range of projects we work on, because of the way we can develop you as an individual, and because you get a balanced working life…at Sweco it’s not about piling as many jobs as high as you can to meet targets.

  1. Career Growth: Access professional development opportunities and clear pathways for progression in both Building Control and Building Safety Act consultancy.  We work on class leading data management software, allowing you the time to spend with clients and not manual processes.
  1. Flexibility: Enjoy a work-life balance that works for you, with flexible working arrangements.  We run a hybrid working model, for us that means a combination of home and office working with the obvious onsite client meetings across the geographical area you will cover.  Rest assured we give you the autonomy to manage your own diary, with no dictatorial approach.

The collaborative atmosphere and the wide range of expertise available were truly impressive. Sweco is at the forefront of Building Control, and being surrounded by leading professionals in such a dynamic setting was a major factor in my decision to join.
