Ashmore Surveyors | Chartered Building Surveyor

Are you an Experienced Building Surveyor?

Do aspects of the Surveying Profession frustrate you? Would you like to work more flexibly?

Are you someone that will not only help us to maintain our reputation but enhance it further?

Ashmore Surveyors are an Independent Firm of Chartered Surveyors and Valuers who would very much like to recruit this sort of person.

We do Surveys and Valuations of Residential and Commercial properties. We think we do them really well. People seem to like our approach. We do other things as well but mostly that\’s it.

We are ideally looking to hire an experienced Building Surveyor who will be MRICS or FRICS with common sense, personable and friendly and not a ‘stuffed shirt’. We are looking to expand the services we provide and are therefore looking for a Chartered Building Surveyor, however, we will not rule out Applications from suitable Applicants who are General Practice or Residential Surveyors.

You will have an ability to take a pragmatic and proportionate view when giving advice, have experience and a desire to earn a decent salary, in an environment which is relaxed but professional, and where you will be valued and enjoy your working environment. A part-time role will also be considered for those looking for a better work/life balance.

Ashmore Surveyors are Nuneaton based and cover the Midlands generally. Somebody therefore living within a reasonable radius of Nuneaton may find servicing work easier.
