Kickstart your career as a Trainee Building Inspector!
Looking for a hands-on job that makes a real difference in your community? This could be the perfect first step.
The Local Authority Building Control (LABC) Academy is offering a fully funded trainee programme where you'll learn while you work, helping ensure buildings are safe, sustainable and built to the right standards.
Here's what's in it for you
- gain Level 4 and 5 diplomas in Building Control Surveying
- get a dedicated mentor at Arun District Council
- learn practical skills on the job
- work alongside designers and builders
- help inspect buildings, investigate issues and respond to urgent site calls
No two days are the same - one day you could be out on site inspecting a build, the next you could be working with professionals to solve real construction challenges.
Details on where to apply can be found here: Arun District Council
Applications close on 15 June 2026.
