Temporary Job – pre-construction building surveying/contract administration MOD

Pre‑Construction Building Surveyor/ Project Manager – MOD Housing Project

Rate: £24–£28 per hour + holiday pay (equivalent to £50–55k salary benchmark)
Location: desk‑based, with surveys and visits to an RAF base
Contract length: 3months +

Are you from a property or construction background with the knowledge of building fabric to carry out condition surveys on MOD Housing?
Also, are you good with spreadsheets? Does the idea of crafting complex documents – providing technical support, budgeting, tender list documentation, specifications, and site plans sound of interest? If so… this role is absolutely for you.

We are seeking an exceptionally detail‑driven Pre‑Construction individual to assist on a large-scale refurbishment of the MOD housing estate.
Working closely with the commercial and delivery team, these projects range from refurbishing multiple properties with general works, ranging from 50+ at a time to one-of-a-kind large houses for officers.
This is a varied role, including some building surveying but also creating these package plans based on the completed building surveys. This is a highly technical, analytical role at times — perfect for someone who thrives on structure, precision and data accuracy. You can be from any construction background (Building Surveying, Architecture, plumbing and heating etc) as long as you have the above skill set.

About the Role
You will be responsible for building comprehensive complex documents for each work's order generated from building survey outputs. Each bill is highly complex and typically takes 2–3 weeks to complete, requiring a patient, thorough and methodical approach.
This role is more desk-based than out surveying— ideal for someone who prefers structured technical work over site activity.r.


What We’re Looking For
If you have a construction background and have these key skills, then this role will suit you.

✅ Construction professional and a spreadsheet enthusiast — confident, working on complex Excel models
✅ Highly analytical, logical and methodical ✅ Obsessed with detail and accuracy ✅ Comfortable working independently on long, technical tasks ✅ Experienced in a construction related field ✅ Able to interpret survey data and translate it into structured work packages

What’s on Offer
  • £24–£28 per hour + holiday pay
  • Salary benchmark equivalent: £50–55k
  • Open to travel to various MOD bases where needed (mileage paid from home)
