Chartered Building Surveyor in City of London

An established and growing property and building consultancy is looking to appoint a fully qualified Chartered Building Surveyor (MRICS) to join its expanding London Building Consultancy team. The business is experiencing continued growth both locally and nationally and is looking for an experienced Building Surveyor who can walk into the role and independently deliver professional Building Surveying instructions from day one.

This is a newly created position offering genuine scope for progression, with the level open from Associate through to Director, depending on experience.

The Role

The successful candidate will take responsibility for a broad range of professional Building Surveying instructions, working directly with clients and providing technically robust advice and reporting. The key requirement is someone with a strong professional services Building Surveying background, rather than a candidate whose experience is predominantly project management, facilities management or operational delivery.

You will be expected to manage instructions independently, maintain client relationships and help the wider team manage increasing workloads as the business continues to grow.

Key Responsibilities & Experience

• Experience across a broad range of professional Building Surveying services is required, including:
• Dilapidations
• Technical Due Diligence (TDD)
• Pre-acquisition surveys
• Schedules of Condition
• Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)
• Reinstatement Cost Assessments
• Defect diagnosis and building pathology
• Contract Administration
• Employer's Agent services
• Project Management
• Client-facing technical report writing
• General professional Building Surveying advice and consultancy

You will be responsible for delivering high-quality technical work, managing your own instructions and developing strong, trusted relationships with clients.

About You

The ideal candidate will be:

• MRICS qualified – essential
• A minimum of 2 years' post-qualification experience
• Experienced on the professional services / consultancy side
• Able to independently deliver professional Building Surveying instructions
• Strong across a broad range of Building Surveying disciplines
• Confident producing high-quality, client-facing technical reports
• Experienced in dealing directly with clients and managing instructions
• Commercially aware with strong technical judgement
• Proactive, self-motivated and able to manage their own workload
• Comfortable contributing to business development and the continued growth of the team
• A strong communicator with the confidence to operate at Associate level and above

Candidates operating at Associate level are particularly encouraged to apply, although experienced Associate Directors and Directors will also be considered. Candidates whose backgrounds are predominantly project management or facilities management, without a strong professional Building Surveying foundation, are unlikely to be suitable.

What's on Offer

• Competitive salary, dependent on experience and seniority
• Hybrid working, with typically 2–3 days per week in the London office
• Genuine career progression within a growing consultancy
• Opportunity to take ownership of a varied professional workload
• Exposure to a diverse client base and range of instructions
• Opportunity to play an important role in the continued expansion of the Building Consultancy team
• Collaborative and supportive working environment

Interview Process

The process is expected to consist of two face-to-face interviews:

• Initial interview with the hiring lead
• Second meeting with the wider team

This is a new position created to support the continued growth of the business, with the successful candidate expected to make an immediate contribution to the team.
