Key Responsibilities Technical Auditing: Conduct desktop audits of Building & Pest reports, identifying structural risks, moisture ingress, and major defects. Risk Reporting & Advisory: Translate complex construction jargon into clear, commercial language for our Buying Team and clients.

Technical Advisory: Translate complex construction jargon into clear, commercial language for Buyer’s Agents and clients.

Passion: You genuinely enjoy helping people learn more about their properties. You take pride in empowering others through your knowledge. Skills & Experience Technical Foundation: Experience in Residential Building or Construction . You must know what a structural defect looks like on paper and in photos. Preferred: Pest Inspection experience/licensing is a plus, but not mandatory if your building knowledge and coachability are elite. Audit Mindset: Ability to interpret reports quickly and make recommendations based on strict criteria. Exceptional Communication: You are great with people and can turn complex technical jargon into easy-to-digest insights for clients, ensuring they feel informed and confident.
