Job description

Professional expertise. Personal purpose.

Help shape and promote community health, safety and amenity across Blacktown City. As a Building Surveyor, you support the safe use and development of buildings by assessing applications, investigating compliance matters and providing technical advice on building and fire safety issues. Your work directly contributes to safer places for people to live, work and visit.

Working within Council's Development Compliance and Regulation team, you assess Building Information Certificate applications, inspect existing buildings and prepare reports as part of Council's fire safety audit program. You investigate complaints about unlawful building work, respond to enquiries from residents and industry professionals, and review matters relating to privately certified development. You also contribute to building policy, procedures and submissions, helping Council respond to legislative change and maintain consistent practices.

This role combines office-based assessment work with site inspections and stakeholder engagement. You apply building legislation, the National Construction Code and sound professional judgement to resolve issues, support compliance and protect public safety.

This role suits a motivated Building Surveyor with a degree in Building Surveying or a related field, solid experience, registration or eligibility for registration under the Building and Development Certifiers Act 2018, strong communication skills and a customer-focused approach. If you enjoy balancing compliance, problem solving and community outcomes, we would love to hear from you.

At Blacktown City Council, good people make great teams, and great teams build great cities. Here, you will find the stability and support to keep growing, along with:

  • a secure, permanent, full-time role with one of Australia's largest councils
  • an entry level salary commencing at $2,015.49 per week
  • a 35-hour working week
  • a car allowance
  • access to Council's flextime arrangement
  • 12% superannuation and competitive leave entitlements
  • ongoing training and development support
  • access to Fitness Passport, social clubs and wellbeing programs.
