Senior Surveyor – Measured Surveys - Team Lead into Service Line Lead

A rare opportunity to build and lead a brand new Measured Survey service line. An established and highly specialist surveying consultancy is looking to appoint an experienced Senior Surveyor to establish and lead a new Measured Survey function within its London operation. This is a genuine opportunity to build something from the ground up. There is a small existing team and limited infrastructure to inherit, giving the successful candidate significant autonomy to shape the service, establish its technical standards, select the right technology and ultimately build a team around them. The consultancy has an established reputation across Building Surveying and Neighbourly Matters. The new Measured Survey service will initially support these existing areas before developing into a standalone offering for building owners, asset managers and other property clients. The Role As the first senior hire into the service line, you will have a key role in determining how the function develops. Initially, you will remain hands on, personally undertaking measured building and topographical surveys while establishing the processes, technology and standards required to deliver a high quality service. You will then have the opportunity to grow and lead a specialist team, with full support and investment from the ownership. The role will combine technical surveying, business development, client management and team leadership, making this an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to progress beyond simply delivering surveys and take genuine ownership of a service line. Key responsibilities Establish and develop the Measured Survey service line. Specify, procure and implement appropriate survey equipment, including laser scanning, total station and GNSS technology where appropriate. Select and implement suitable processing, CAD and BIM software. Establish surveying methodologies, accuracy standards and quality control procedures in line with relevant RICS professional standards. Personally undertake measured building and topographical surveys during the initial growth phase. Produce and oversee point cloud, CAD and BIM deliverables. Develop repeatable processes, templates and QA procedures for future team members. Train and mentor staff joining the new function. Work closely with existing Rights of Light, Daylight
