Class 1 & 10 Residential
Keystone Building Certifiers is seeking an experienced Building Inspector, Building Surveyor or Private Certifier to join our growing team.
With a strong and consistent workload, we're looking for someone who can confidently undertake critical stage inspections and hit the ground running.
This role is primarily focused on inspections and would suit someone who enjoys being out on site, working independently and making practical compliance decisions.
Whether you're an experienced Building Surveyor, Building Inspector, Private Certifier, or a highly experienced construction professional looking to transition into certification, we'd like to hear from you.
About Us
Keystone Building Certifiers has been operating for over 7 years and has built a reputation for being practical, responsive, and easy to deal with.
We're a small team of six consisting of four certifiers and two administration staff.
We work closely together, support each other when needed and genuinely enjoy what we do.
As our workload continues to grow, we're looking for another experienced person to join the team and help us continue delivering a high level of service to our clients.

Inspections are generally scheduled between 9am and 3pm providing flexibility around scheduling.
We're looking for someone who already understands residential critical stage inspections and can confidently determine whether work is compliant, requires rectification or requires reinspection.
