Move from private sector to public sector Building Control


Working in Building Control in the public sector can have many benefits.

These include:

  • Personal development: We offer a wide variety of opportunities for personal development, specialisation, and progression.
  • Work-life balance: We offer a range of flexible working options, including flexi-time, to help achieve a good work-life balance.
  • Variety: Every day is different working as a Building Control Officer at the council. One day you could be at a site along the beautiful Durham coast and the next up in the tranquil Durham Dales. You'll also work with a variety of people from construction professionals to the general public and on a variety of projects, from private homes to commercial properties.
  • Making a difference: Working for the council means you are making a real difference to our residents and communities, helping to ensure our buildings are safe, comfortable, accessible, and sustainable.
