About us
NHBC is the UK's leading provider of warranty and insurance for new-build homes.
Established in 1936 to tackle the sub-standard building practices seen in the inter-war years, NHBC is still recognised and trusted throughout the house-building industry today.
Our purpose is to raise standards in house building by championing high-quality homes and protecting homeowners. We do this through training and quality services and by assessing, inspecting and directly insuring new homes registered with us.
The organisation employs over 1,300 people across the UK including building inspectors, surveyors, engineers, energy assessors, health and safety, training, registration, customer service and claims colleagues, who deliver our key services to builder customers and to homeowners who have a Buildmark warranty and insurance policy.
Approach to diversity & inclusion
At NHBC we are not only working hard to reflect the communities we serve but also to ensure everyone can bring their whole self to work.
But what does bringing your whole self to work mean? For us it is a commitment to create a work environment that is safe and enjoyable for all, where everyone feels able to contribute and achieve their full potential.
This means that we are and will remain committed to promoting and encouraging diversity and inclusion in everything we do.
We actively support diversity, equity and inclusion across the business through our Be Me:
Networks and NHBC Circles. These groups are open to all colleagues and run events throughout the year that everyone is welcome to join either virtually or in person. We encourage everyone to attend these events and take the opportunity to find out more about each other, our experiences and learn more about important issues.
We value diversity, equity and inclusion, the range of perspectives it offers and how it supports the growth of our organisation, enabling us to better serve our customers, consumers and colleagues.
Flexible working at NHBC
At NHBC we are proud to support flexible working.
We achieve this thanks to great managers who trust and support their teams to achieve their
goals. Through flexibility, autonomy and clear communication we are able to support colleagues across the UK performing a wide range of roles remotely, from our offices and out on sites.
We are a modern, lifestyle and family friendly employer who are investing in technology,
data and new ways of working. We are looking for talented and driven people to join us on this journey.
Our aim is to create an environment where you can do a great job. Depending on the role we
cannot promise we will be able to offer you exactly what you want, but we encourage you to talk to us about how, where and when you work best if you choose to apply for a job with us.

Excellent in team support. Very progressive and professional culture within the company. A respected company that I am proud to work for.
The people I work with are supportive and helpful. I have a great team, but I also feel on the whole NHBC is very supportive and generally every department is willing to go the extra mile.
A truly flexible and supportive company with great benefits. Everyone is respectful and friendly.
NHBC is an excellent workplace. It is very supportive and inclusive. Although I am early in my career with the company, I already feel that I will have a long career with NHBC.
I have moved around a lot in my career, moving once every 2-3 years. NHBC is the first place I can see myself staying much longer. It is a fantastic place to work.
NHBC is evolving progressively and I find that NHBC is open to changes and listening to the voices of the 'little people'. You feel like you have a voice.
People in NHBC generally have positive and "can do" attitudes, which helps no-end when collaborating across teams.
NHBC is a varied and fairly unique business built on its people and its long history. People stay at NHBC as there is the opportunity to move into different roles and develop your skills and knowledge and progress your career by working in different parts of the business.
The values around family really stand out at NHBC, they are extremely value driven and its a great place to work! The structure around bonus and rewards and extremely well structured compared to other firms I have worked for and very transparent. I see myself at NHBC for a long time!
It's easy to take for granted just how lucky we are at NHBC. It's only when looking at other companies and salaries that I reflect on how ahead of the game we are as a business. I would truly struggle to get these benefits elsewhere in addition to a very good work/life balance.
NHBC is a lovely company to work for. Very supportive, inclusive, cheerleading and just an all round nice place to be. Certainly the best company I have ever worked for. Highly recommended.
I like the flexibility and the salary and bonuses are good.
The flexible working & maternity / paternity packages are great for growing / young families.
Work life balance is amazing.
I love how friendly everybody is. Work in one department but have questions for others and everyone helps with a genuine smile. Everybody is happy and willing to assist. It really is a caring family.

My career at NHBC has been long. I have found the working environment to be honest, fulfilling and rewarding. Every day brings its own challenges which I am encouraged to meet and get help with.
