Your life as a surveyor

You'll be part of our growing business carrying out residential valuation reports for lending purposes, together with private home survey inspections.

You'll be absolutely dedicated to meeting deadlines because you know we always keep our promises to clients. And if residents are home when you visit, you'll enjoy chatting to them and acting as something of an ambassador, taking the opportunity to make sure they're happy and committing to getting any issues sorted.

What you'll do as our surveyor

  • Meet personal income targets by managing your day to day workload to maximise productivity and profitability
  • Embrace our new iPad technology to complete homebuyer reports and mortgage valuations
  • Maintain service and quality requirements to company standards
  • Report performance issues in key areas to the relevant line manager
  • Adapt to the changing business needs of the company and our clients to utilise new products and valuation/inspection techniques
  • Proactively assist in the implementation of risk management policies
  • Attend regional team meetings and annual conference

  • Currently VRS registered or meets the criteria for VRS as a sponsored member
