Building Surveyor
Edinburgh | Hybrid Working
I'm working with an established property and construction consultancy looking to appoint an experienced Building Surveyor to join its Edinburgh team.
This is a varied opportunity combining professional Building Surveying with project work, giving you the chance to manage your own instructions, work closely with clients and become involved in refurbishment and construction projects from initial advice through to completion.
The Role
You'll manage a broad range of Building Surveying instructions, with responsibilities likely to include:
- Managing refurbishment, alteration and construction projects
- Providing Contract Administration services
- Undertaking building and condition surveys
- Preparing specifications, schedules of works and technical reports
- Monitoring works on site through to completion
- Providing practical building and property advice to clients
- Supporting dilapidations and Party Wall instructions
- Managing project budgets, programmes and resources
- Liaising with clients, contractors and other consultants
- Supporting fee proposals and wider business development
- Providing guidance to more junior members of the team
About You
You'll ideally have a degree in Building Surveying or a related discipline, together with experience gained within a consultancy or similar property environment.
MRICS or MCIOB would be advantageous, although this isn't essential where you can demonstrate strong relevant experience.
Experience across some of the following would be particularly useful:
- Contract administration
- Refurbishment and improvement projects
- Building and condition surveys
- Technical specifications and schedules of works
- Dilapidations
- Party Wall matters
- Project monitoring
- AutoCAD and technical drawings
You’ll need to be comfortable managing your own workload and dealing directly with clients, with strong communication skills and a practical, commercially minded approach.
Why Consider It?
This would suit a Building Surveyor looking for a role offering genuine variety and autonomy, rather than being pigeonholed into one particular area of Building Surveying.
You’ll have the opportunity to take ownership of projects, develop client relationships and work alongside an experienced team, with plenty of scope to continue progressing your career.
The package includes:
- Competitive salary dependent on experience
- Hybrid and flexible working
- 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays
- Pension
- Healthcare benefits
- Life assurance
- Enhanced family leave
- Additional holiday purchase options
- Ongoing professional and career development
Location
The position is based in Edinburgh, with hybrid working offering a combination of office and home-based working.
