BCAR Coordinator (Site Inspections) - Waterford

My client, an established engineering consultancy, is looking for a BCAR Coordinator to join their compliance team in Waterford. You’ll work alongside the named Assigned Certifier, carrying out site inspections, reporting your findings and working with designers and contractors to resolve compliance issues.

This is a permanent role with the client. This is not an agency or short-term role; the successful candidate will be employed by and work for them directly.

The role combines time in the Waterford office with travel to project sites across Ireland. The company offers flexible hybrid working and the option of a nine-day fortnight.

The salary is €50,000–€60,000 per year, depending on experience, with a pension and paid professional memberships.

Responsibilities:

• Carry out site inspections against the agreed inspection plan and write clear reports on your findings.

• Raise issues with the relevant designer or contractor, follow up on corrective work and record the evidence needed to close each item.

• Maintain inspection and compliance records and coordinate project documentation on the Building Control Management System (BCMS).

• Attend design, client and site meetings, update the named Assigned Certifier on outstanding items and liaise with Building Control when required.

Requirements:

• A degree in a construction-related discipline such as architecture, building surveying, civil or structural engineering, or mechanical or electrical engineering.

• At least four years’ relevant experience, with a practical understanding of the Building Control (Amendment) Regulations (BCAR) and building regulations.

• Experience carrying out site inspections, writing reports and working with contractors and design teams to resolve issues.

• Ability to travel to project sites across Ireland.

• Previous PSDP experience would be an advantage. A qualification in Building Control or Building Regulations, or training in the Assigned Certifier role, would also be useful.

If you meet the above requirements and are seeking an exciting new challenge, please forward your CV for immediate consideration and a confidential call back to discuss the role in more detail. Your CV will never be sent to anybody without your permission..
