Application Tips

In your application, focus on clear examples of building control work, complex case handling, site inspections, plan checking, and enforcement activity. Show your registration level, technical knowledge, and experience of supervising others. It also helps to include examples of work linked to high-risk buildings, building safety, and strong decision-making, because employers remain strangely attached to evidence.
