Kickstart your career as a Trainee Building Inspector!

Graphic with a blue gradient background displaying large white text reading “Want to become a building control trainee?”. At the bottom are simple line illustrations of a house plan and multi-storey buildings, alongside the Arun District Council logo.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.
