Looking for a role where you can take the lead, shape projects and make a genuine impact on a growing consultancy?
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Senior Building Surveyor to join an ambitious and expanding construction consultancy with an increasingly strong presence across West and Central London.
With a growing portfolio of instructions, an established client base and plenty of plans for the future, this is an excellent opportunity to join a business at an exciting stage of its development.
You'll have the freedom to take ownership of your own projects, work closely with a diverse range of clients and play an active role in developing the Building Surveying team. This isn't simply another project delivery role - it's an opportunity to bring your experience, ideas and personality to a business where your contribution will genuinely count.
The Opportunity
You'll be involved in a varied and interesting workload, working across several sectors and service lines, including:
- High-end residential properties and landlord portfolios
- Local authority and public sector projects
- Education
- Refurbishment and planned maintenance programmes
- Party Wall matters, particularly within the residential sector
You'll have responsibility for projects from initial instruction through to completion, with the opportunity to take the lead on client relationships and influence how projects are delivered.
Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:
- Taking ownership of a diverse portfolio of Building Surveying projects from inception to completion.
- Acting as Contract Administrator on refurbishment and maintenance schemes.
- Producing detailed specifications, schedules of work, scopes and tender documentation.
- Coordinating contractors and consultants, ensuring projects run smoothly and efficiently.
- Leading site meetings and overseeing programme, costs, quality and project delivery.
- Undertaking building surveys, preparing technical reports and advising clients.
- Building lasting relationships with existing clients while identifying opportunities to develop new business.
- Providing guidance and mentorship to junior surveyors and apprentices.
- Supporting the continued growth and development of the Building Surveying service.
- Undertaking Party Wall work where required.
What We're Looking For
This role would suit an established Building Surveyor who enjoys taking responsibility, managing client relationships and getting involved in the wider success of a consultancy.
Ideally, you'll bring:
- 10+ years' experience within the Building Surveying sector.
- MRICS qualification (preferred, but not essential).
- Strong experience acting as Contract Administrator.
- A well-rounded Building Surveying background with exposure to multiple service lines.
- The confidence to manage projects and client relationships independently.
- Excellent communication, organisation and stakeholder management skills.
- A proactive, reliable approach with the ambition to take your career further.
- You'll be someone who enjoys working collaboratively but is equally comfortable taking the initiative, making decisions and getting things done.
The Package
- Salary up to £70,000, depending on experience.
- Bonus opportunities.
- Mileage reimbursement for site visits.
- 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays.
- CPD support and allowance.
- Company pension.
- Genuine long-term career progression.
- A supportive, close-knit and collaborative working environment.
Why Make the Move?
Joining this consultancy means becoming part of a growing business where you'll have the opportunity to do more than simply manage projects.
You'll benefit from a strong pipeline of work, an interesting and varied client base, the freedom to manage your own workload and the opportunity to help shape the future of an expanding team.
If you're an experienced Building Surveyor looking for greater autonomy, fresh challenges and the chance to make your mark within a growing consultancy, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
