Newsweek Recognizes Sedgwick as America’s Greatest Workplaces National Top Companies Certified as a Great Place to Work® Fortune Best Workplaces in Financial Services & Insurance Development Surveyor - Latent Defects Job Location: South Midlands/M5 corridor Job Type: Permanent Remuneration : Competitive salary taking into account skills, experience and qualifications Sedgwick is seeking a Development Surveyor to join our specialist Structural Defects Services team, supporting projects across the West Midlands and South (M5 corridor). This role is designed for someone early in their surveying or construction career who is keen to learn, develop technical expertise, and build a strong foundation in structural defects and building pathology. You’ll work alongside experienced surveyors and adjusters and receive structured training to help you progress confidently into more complex work over time. As part of the team, you’ll support the management of a varied portfolio of structural and latent defect cases across commercial, residential, and multi‑unit properties. With guidance and training, you’ll assist with site visits, help collect evidence, and support the assessment of damage and potential causation. You’ll contribute to preliminary reports, help review technical documentation, and work with senior colleagues and external engineers to understand how repair strategies are developed. As your skills grow, you’ll gradually take on more responsibility—such as reviewing scopes of work, monitoring reinstatement progress, and preparing elements of final reports. You’ll be supported through on‑the‑job learning, mentoring, technical workshops, and clear development pathways. You may also assist the wider Commercial Surveying & Design team, gaining exposure to traditional surveying tasks like preparing repair scopes, supporting contract administration, and helping manage tendering processes. This provides excellent breadth as part of your structured training and long‑term progression. This role offers a supportive environment, hands‑on training, and the flexibility of a home‑based position with regional travel. The skills you will have when you apply: Full UK Driving Licence: Required for regional site visits. Education & Development Mindset: Degree-level qualification (or working towards one) in surveying, construction, or engineering. We warmly welcome those pursuing or intending to pursue chartership (e.g., MCIOB, MRICS, MICE). Foundational Technical Knowledge: Some awareness of building construction and structural defects is helpful, but full training will be provided. Interest in Claims & Building Pathology: Any exposure to insurance or defect-related work is beneficial, but not essential. Analytical Thinker: Keen to learn how to diagnose defects and develop suitable repair solutions with support. Proactive & Adaptable: Able to work independently when needed, collaborate remotely, and engage confidently with policyholders as part of your development journey. What we’ll give you for this role: Remuneration & more Competitive salary taking into account skills, experience and qualifications Fully funded company vehicle or cash in lieu allowance A Self Invested Personal Pension Scheme (SIPP) Holiday allowance of 25 days plus bank holidays Flexible working from our office or your home Health & support Private healthcare plan (including pre-existing conditions) Life assurance Group Income Protection   Other benefits Voluntary benefits – dental cover, cycle to work scheme, season ticket loan, wellbeing and digital GP applications Employee assistance programme for employee wellbeing   Discounts on various products and services This isn't just a position, it's a pivotal role in shaping our industry At Sedgwick, not only will you be working behind the scenes for some of the UK's most trusted insurance brands helping to resolve millions of claims every year, you'll also be an architect of tomorrow's insurance landscape with Sedgwick University.
