Building Surveyor

Building Surveyor
Southampton | Multidisciplinary Property & Construction Consultancy | Flexible working

A role with variety, flexibility and some seriously interesting projects.
We're working with a highly regarded multidisciplinary consultancy that is continuing to expand its Building Surveying team in Southampton.

They're looking for a Building Surveyor to join an established and collaborative team, working across an exciting mix of Defence, Blue Light, Education and Housing projects plus many more throughout the region.

With project values ranging from £10k to £3m, no two days are likely to look the same. You'll have the opportunity to work across a broad range of building surveying instructions while developing strong client relationships and taking genuine ownership of your projects.

And importantly, this is a business that puts flexibility, inclusion and professional development at the heart of its culture.

What makes the role stand out?

• Varied project portfolio - work across Defence, Blue Light, Education, Housing and other public-sector environments.
• Project values up to £3m - giving you exposure to both smaller commissions and larger, more complex schemes.
• Flexible & remote working - a culture built around trust, with genuine flexibility around how and where you work.
• Career development - opportunities to broaden your technical experience, take on additional responsibility and progress within the team.
• Collaborative environment - work alongside experienced building surveyors and a wider multidisciplinary team.
• People-focused culture - your ideas and experience are valued, with an emphasis on collaboration rather than hierarchy.

The Opportunity
As a Building Surveyor, you'll work across a range of regional projects, providing a broad spectrum of professional building surveying services.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Undertaking building surveys, inspections and condition assessments.
• Preparing schedules, specifications, reports, drawings and other technical documentation.
• Providing professional advice across a varied project portfolio.
• Managing regional schemes from inception through to completion.
• Working with and administering JCT and NEC forms of contract.
• Supporting senior colleagues with project and team management activities.
• Developing and maintaining strong relationships with clients and project stakeholders.
• Providing guidance, mentoring and support to more junior members of the Building Surveying team.
• Ensuring projects are delivered with appropriate consideration for quality, health & safety, environmental and statutory compliance requirements.
• Contributing to the continued growth and development of the wider Building Surveying team.

Requirements
We're interested in speaking with Building Surveyors who have a strong technical foundation and enjoy working across a varied project portfolio.

Ideally, you'll bring:

• A BSc (Hons) in Building Surveying or another relevant RICS-accredited degree.
• Solid practical experience within a building surveying environment.
• Strong technical knowledge, including building pathology, inspections and defect diagnosis.
• Experience producing technical reports, specifications, feasibility studies, asset reviews and drawings.
• Knowledge of JCT and NEC contracts.
• A good understanding of Health & Safety and statutory compliance.
• Strong communication and client management skills.
• Commercial awareness, with an understanding of project profitability and business development.
• Excellent organisation and time-management skills.
• A proactive attitude towards continued professional development.
• The ability to work collaboratively and contribute positively to a team environment.

Why consider it?
This is an excellent opportunity for a Building Surveyor who wants more variety, greater flexibility and the chance to work on projects that genuinely make a difference.

You'll be joining a growing team with an interesting pipeline of work, while benefiting from a supportive environment where your development and long-term career are taken seriously.
