Building Surveyor / Employers Agent - Oxford/Cambridge Arc - upto £90k

An opportunity has arisen with a well-established multidisciplinary property and construction consultancy undergoing a period of strategic regional expansion. Having built a strong reputation and delivery track record across London and the South East, the business is now successfully extending its reach into the wider Oxford/Cambridge Arc and surrounding regions. This appointment forms part of a key growth phase linked to a significant uplift in secured workload across a new geographical area.

The organisation is seeking either a project-focused Building Surveyor or an experienced Employers Agent, with a clear emphasis on delivering within the social and affordable housing sector, primarily through new build framework agreements. This is a role suited to someone who enjoys both delivery responsibility and the opportunity to influence how services are shaped in a developing regional market.

The successful candidate will be responsible for a broad and varied workload including:

• Employers Agent duties on new build social and affordable housing schemes
• Project led building surveying across all key stages (pre and post contract)
• Framework based delivery for housing associations and registered providers
• Full client facing responsibility from early stages through to completion
• Coordination with internal multidisciplinary teams for technical and commercial input

A key feature of the role is the level of autonomy and trust, with scope to operate independently while supported by a wider established London based team.

What Makes This Role Attractive

• Opportunity to join a business expanding beyond its established London base
• Significant autonomy in delivery and client management
• Genuine scope to contribute to the development of a new regional presence
• Opportunity to help shape and grow an office, team and service line over time
• Access to a strong multidisciplinary platform for support when required
• Established pipeline of secured social and affordable housing framework work

The Bigger Picture

This position sits within a wider strategic expansion programme, with the business leveraging its success in established markets to grow into new regions. The successful individual will play a key role in building presence, strengthening client relationships and helping to establish long term regional capability. This is a chance to be part of a growth story rather than simply joining an established structure.

Package

Salary up to £90k (dependent on experience) Comprehensive benefits package including:

• Pension scheme
• Enhanced annual leave
• Performance related bonus
• Additional benefits aligned with senior level appointments

Candidate Profile

• MRICS qualified Building Surveyor
• Strong experience in Employers Agent and/or project-led building surveying roles
• Background in social housing / affordable housing or residential frameworks
• Comfortable managing clients and delivering projects independently
• Interested in long term progression and influencing regional growth

This is a strong opportunity for an individual seeking a high degree of autonomy, meaningful responsibility, and the chance to help shape a developing regional presence within a well-supported consultancy environment.
