Are you a Building Surveyor who enjoys running projects end-to-end and wants a role with more ownership, variety and influence?

Do you want to work on complex, high-value schemes while being part of a supportive, forward-thinking consultancy where people genuinely enjoy what they do?

If you're looking for a role that blends technical surveying expertise with hands-on project management, this could be the perfect next step.

The Opportunity

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Delivering projects from feasibility through to completion

  • Acting as Project Manager and key client contact on appointed schemes

  • Managing programmes, budgets, risks and reporting

  • Undertaking building surveys, technical due diligence and condition assessments

  • Preparing reports, specifications and project documentation

  • Coordinating consultants, contractors and internal teams

  • Providing technical input across design, procurement and construction phases

  • Supporting the recovery of complex or distressed projects

  • Building strong client relationships and representing the consultancy externally

About You
You'll be a capable and confident Building Surveyor who is comfortable taking ownership of projects and working directly with clients.

Ideally, you'll bring:

  • At least 3 years' experience in Building Surveying, with project management responsibilities

  • Consultancy-based experience

  • Exposure to both public and private sector projects

  • Strong pre- and post-contract knowledge

  • APC completed or working towards completion

  • A proactive, collaborative and personable approach

  • Willingness to travel to project sites when required

What's on Offer

  • Salary up to £55,000

  • 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays

  • Hybrid working arrangements

  • Private healthcare and pension scheme

  • Cycle-to-work scheme

  • MacBook and full IT setup

  • Regular social and team events

You'll be joining a business that values input, encourages progression and supports long-term careers - not just short-term outputs.
