Senior Building Surveyor
Our London building surveying team has a gap at senior level, offering a Senior Building Surveyor the chance to run their own instructions, develop junior staff, and progress toward Associate and beyond.
Behind the London office is a national consultancy offering a full range of building surveying services. It works closely with agency and investment colleagues who pass instructions across the team. Industrial, logistics and offices make up most of the work, and returning clients keep it steady even while the transactional market is quieter.
The Senior Building Surveyor Role
Expect roughly half project work and half professional work. You'll have your own caseload and be responsible for delivering it profitably. Contract administration and project management runs up to around £5m, and a specialist PM team picks up anything larger.
You'll deal with clients every day and be expected to grow accounts, turning first instructions into wider commissions. Mentoring the apprentices and checking their work also sits with you.
