About Us

Solving the great societal challenges of our time is more relevant, demanding and inspiring than ever before. At Sweco we bring together experts with different perspectives and skills to develop solutions that address the challenges of urbanisation, harness the positive power of digitalisation and make societies more sustainable.

We pride ourselves on our quality and technical expertise that underpins our full suite of services, our approach is to listen and engage with our clients to anticipate the regulatory issues that will need resolving and work in partnership to deliver a successful project.

We are currently looking for an Operations Director to join our Building Standards team in Chelmsford.

What does the role involve?

Reporting to the Department Manager you will lead and manage a team of Building Control Surveyors ensuring that targets are being met in terms of financial results, clients, projects and people. You will develop the team and generate business by looking for leads/opportunities to maximise profit whilst supporting the wider business unit, region and business.

What you’ll be doing

Commercial leadership: Set and deliver team budgets, own profit and loss, ensure accurate financial and project reporting, and identify and manage risks to protect margins.
Resource and delivery management: Manage workload, capacity and resources against order backlog, direct teams to meet project objectives, and ensure effective project controls and governance.
Client and business development: Build and maintain strong client relationships, capture client feedback, manage and approve bids, and collaborate with peers to share clients and opportunities.
People leadership: Develop team capability through coaching and collaboration, drive improvements using staff feedback, and ensure compliance with ethics and mandatory training.
Quality and compliance: Maintain high standards on Building Regulation projects, ensuring compliance with relevant legislation, regulations and professional standards.
Strategic contribution: Support regional planning, contribute to Board and Director discussions, collaborate with senior colleagues, and escalate risks or opportunities appropriately.

To be successful in this role you’ll have:

An appropriate degree along with an appropriate professional qualification such as MRICS, MCIOB or MCABE.
RBI registration with a proven track record within Building Control.
Good understanding of client projects and of the broader division.
Capacity to influence strategic decision making within the business and an ability to make commercial decisions within defined parameters.
Good analytical and process ability.

What's in it for you?

Working for Sweco you’ll experience an inclusive, friendly and flexible working environment where colleagues are encouraged to grow and develop together. A meaningful career where you’ll help to transform society by being a trusted consultant to our clients.

As part of our Building Standards division, and the wider teams, you'll work to maintain the highest standards alongside a team of innovators in a variety of projects, with regular training and bitesized learning opportunities.

We're committed to enabling all our colleagues to achieve a great balance between work and their other priorities, such as caring responsibilities, leisure activities, further learning or other interests. We offer flexible and hybrid working, to ensure we have a healthy work/ life balance, and ask our employees to have an office or site presence on an average of three days a week.

If you believe you have the skill set required, are keen to join a business with genuine opportunities for career progression, then we’d love to hear from you.

Our Preferred Supplier List was reviewed in November 2025 and we are not looking to add any additional agencies. We’ll be reviewing the PSL again at the end of 2026 and non-compliance with the above statements could be detrimental to you having the opportunity to be included.
