Chartered Building Surveyor

The Role: I am recruiting a Chartered Building Surveyor to join the team at Easton Bevins, a progressive and ambitious Property Consultancy. Easton Bevins has been established in Bristol for nearly 40 years, and their on-going success and reputation for technical and service excellence has resulted in the opening of offices in London, Cardiff, Birmingham and Manchester. This Chartered Building Surveyor role provides an opportunity to join the small and expanding central London office (WC1R), working for a wide variety of clients (including several large management companies), assessing and providing technical advice on a wide range of projects (refurbishments, high-rise developments, roofing projects etc.), in and around central London. Easton Bevins are not a tick-box firm; their work requires independent thought and critical thinking, and the successful Building Surveyor will enjoy the responsibility and autonomy to make a marked contribution to the success of the business. As the London team expands, your contribution will be recognised and you will be rewarded with on-going career development and the opportunity to progress into management.

The Person: The successful Building Surveyor will have experience of working on a range of building surveying projects, including contracts, JCTs, fire safety/fire risk assessments etc. They will ideally be Chartered with 2+ years post APC experience. We will however consider candidates who are close to becoming Chartered and demonstrate the right attributes for development, or candidates with more experience who have the client connections required to generate additional business. The salary offered and the benefits package will be highly competitive and will reflect your level of experience.

Salary and Benefits (dependent on skills and experience): Basic salary £50,000 - £75,000 (dependant on experience) + uncapped bonus (25% of all fees above 2.75 salary target) + additional discretionary bonus + continued professional development and professional memberships + NHS cash-plan + private healthcare scheme + company pension + 23-26 days holiday + bank holidays + company events + flexible/hybrid working etc. (you will have the autonomy to manage your own diary, but it is likely that you will be in the office c.1 day per week, and on client sites, in and around central London, c.3 days a week).

The Company: Easton Bevins are a multidisciplinary property consultancy who provide a wide range of services to meet their clients' many and varied requirements. Their expert advice relating to land and property helps reduce the risks associated with the acquisition, occupation and disposal of buildings. Established in 1989, they are known for their honest approach, clear, concise advice and high standards of professional support. They provide advice and support throughout the entire property lifecycle. A member of RICS, their vast experience in all areas of the property and construction industry ensures that their service is second to none.

Chartered Building Surveyor, Skills and Experience: Ideally Chartered with 2+ years post APC experience (MRICs or MCIOB, MEWI, MFPWS and/or MIfirE) or equivalent. We will consider candidates who are close to becoming Chartered or candidates with more experience and a higher level of seniority. Project management skills with experience of working on a range of building surveying projects, including contracts, JCTs, fire safety/fire risk assessments etc. and excellent commercial awareness. A good understanding of construction technology, construction contracts and legislation.
