Your new company

Are you a skilled Building Surveyor looking for a role where no two days are the same? Do you thrive on variety, autonomy, and the opportunity to work on heritage-rich and architecturally diverse properties? If so, we have a unique opportunity that could be perfect for you.

We’re seeking a proactive and experienced Building Surveyor to join a small, collaborative team managing a truly exceptional property portfolio. From listed buildings and cultural landmarks to residential, commercial, and retail spaces, this role offers the chance to work across a wide range of asset types.

Your new role

You’ll be responsible for:
• Conducting property inspections and producing detailed condition reports

️ Projects You’ll Lead
Expect to manage projects ranging from £100k to £500k, including:
• Refurbishments and restorations
• Roof and boiler replacements
• Window and door upgrades
• Energy efficiency improvements

What you'll need to succeed

Who We’re Looking For
You’ll be an experienced Building Surveyor with a strong understanding of construction contracts and project management. Ideally, you will be chartered RICS or CIOB, though we’ll consider experienced candidates without this. You’ll be confident working independently, comfortable challenging contractors, and passionate about maintaining and enhancing heritage and community assets.

What you'll get in return

What’s on Offer
• Salary up to £60,000 depending on experience
• Contributory pension scheme
• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
