You'll join a service where:
Mentoring and support are part of the everyday culture, and you'll help deliver it.
Your expertise is valued, your input shapes direction, and your leadership makes a difference.
Integrity, collaboration, and wellbeing matter just as much as technical excellence.
You'll be part of a connected, supportive team with shared goals and mutual respect.
We believe that when our leaders thrive, our teams and our city thrive too.
Your Role: Lead, Support, and Set the Standard
This is a critical role in our service, sitting just beneath the Building Control Manager. As Building Control Team Leader / Principal Inspector, you'll handle the most complex cases, provide day-to-day support to inspectors, and help shape how we deliver a modern, responsive service.

Support the Manager in the development of team practices, standards, and strategy.
This is your chance to make a real impact, using your experience not only to solve problems but to empower others.
What We're Looking For
We're seeking a qualified, experienced Registered Building Inspector (RBI) at Class 2D or above, who brings:
Significant experience with Building Control.
Sound technical judgement and the ability to guide others confidently.
A natural mentoring style of someone who leads through support, not hierarchy.
Strong communication and collaboration skills, able to build trust with colleagues and external partners alike.
A positive, calm, and solutions-focused mindset.
A genuine desire to support both people and progress.
Why Join Us?
You'll be part of a progressive, supportive team that values integrity, innovation, and leadership at every level. We offer:
Autonomy & Professional Respect to work independently on complex matters, with the full backing of your manager and peers.
Flexibility & Balance - blend site, remote, and office working; part-time and flexible hours available.
Growth & Development including CPD, leadership training, mentoring opportunities, and routes into strategic roles.
A culture that works with you and where people are empowered, wellbeing is prioritised, and shared purpose drives everything.
The Perks
We believe in rewarding talent and dedication, offering an outstanding benefits package:
A highly competitive salary, plus additional negotiable payments based on experience and market conditions.
Excellent Local Government Pension Scheme.
Annual Leave entitlement up to 26 days a year.
Additional leave on the 8 public holidays.
Extra statutory leave for 2 days at Christmas.
The ability to take extra flex days off each month.
Options to purchase additional days of holiday.
Our new Wagestream, which allows pre-tax saving with attractive interest rates; or can be used to take your salary early if an unexpected personal expense arises.
Payment of professional memberships and fees.
Mileage and subsistence allowance payments.
The popular Vine Extras discount scheme for retail, goods and services.
Tax-free cycle schemes.
Interest-free E-vehicle loan schemes.
Discounted fitness classes, gym and/or swimming pool memberships.
