We have a property portfolio consisting of over 600 properties and which includes schools, corporate offices and other service delivery accommodation and non-operational properties.

This is an exciting time at North Yorkshire Council as we bring together 8 district, borough and county councils to form the third largest unitary council in England.

Whilst this is a s a period of change maintenance surveyors are, and will, continue to be crucial to property services.

As an organisation, we strongly believe in promoting a positive work/life balance, with hybrid and flexible working opportunities and the use of modern technology.
