The Role: Quality Control & Governance
We are looking for a Building and Pest Support specialist to join our Compliance Unit. This is a 100% remote, desk-based technical auditing role. You won't be out in the field doing inspections. Instead, you are the Gatekeeper of Quality.
Your mission is to review third-party reports, identify risks such as structural issues, water damage, high maintenance etc., and provide objective, technical feedback.
About the Role
This is a 100% remote position where you'll be the technical eyes supporting our clients with their B&P reports. You'll audit reports, translate complex construction jargon into clear commercial language, and help protect the financial futures of our clients.
Key Responsibilities
* Technical Auditing: Conduct desktop audits of Building & Pest reports, identifying structural risks, moisture ingress, and major defects.
* Risk Reporting & Advisory: Translate complex construction jargon into clear, commercial language for our team and clients.
* Cost Estimation: Define the specific scope of works required to obtain accurate third-party quotes for defect rectification.
* Stakeholder Collaboration: Provide factual, objective evidence to support price negotiations while maintaining professional, non-abrasive communication.
* Workflow Management: Handle a high volume of deal files with rapid turnaround times, maintaining a zero-error rate on critical checks.
Who You Are
* Low Ego, High Impact: A technical expert without an abrasive attitude; professional, approachable, and non-confrontational.
* Highly Coachable: Growth mindset, adaptable, tech-savvy, and eager to learn the \"APS way\" of property analysis.
* Receptive & Resilient Team Player: You thrive in a high-performance culture where feedback is direct and standards are elite. You handle professional pushback with ease, viewing it as a collaborative tool to deliver the best possible outcome for clients.
* The \"Sharp Eye\": You see the red flags in photos and reports that others miss. Detail-oriented and obsessed with accuracy.
* Passion: You genuinely enjoy helping people learn more about their properties and take pride in empowering others through your knowledge.
Skills & Experience
* Technical Foundation: Experience in Residential Building or Construction - you must know what a structural defect looks like on paper and in photos.
* Preferred: Pest Inspection experience/licensing is a plus, but not mandatory if your building knowledge and coachability are elite.
* Audit Mindset: Ability to interpret reports quickly and make recommendations based on strict criteria.
* Exceptional Communication: You can turn complex technical jargon into easy-to-digest insights for clients, ensuring they feel informed and confident.
* Tech Literacy: Comfortable using CRMs and remote communication tools (Google, Zoom, etc.) in a 100% digital environment.
Why Join APS?
* 100% Remote: Work from anywhere in Australia with total autonomy.
* Personal Growth: We prioritise your personal portfolio growth and professional development.
* High-Performance Culture: Work with a team that celebrates milestones and moves fast.
* Impact: Your technical expertise directly protects the financial futures of our clients.
