12-month temporary contract for a Project Building Surveyor

Your new company

You’ll be joining a dynamic Estates & Facilities team where you’ll take the lead on a variety of construction projects across a large and complex estate. This is a permanent, full-time position offering you the opportunity to manage planned maintenance, refurbishments, and new build schemes from inception to completion. Your focus will be on delivering projects that represent best value, while meeting high standards of quality, safety, and compliance.

Your new role

In this role, you’ll be responsible for developing client briefs, producing design solutions, and managing budgets. You’ll coordinate both internal resources and external consultants, ensuring projects are delivered on time and within budget. You’ll act as Contract Administrator and Principal Designer when required, and you’ll ensure that all statutory approvals are obtained before work begins.

You’ll provide expert advice on planning, procurement, and project delivery, while maintaining strong communication with stakeholders across the organisation. You’ll also support the wider management team in promoting customer-focused services, continuous improvement, and efficient use of resources.

What you'll need to succeed

To succeed, you’ll need a degree in Building Surveying or a related discipline, along with full membership of a recognised professional body such as RICS. You’ll have at least five years’ experience at a senior technical level, with a strong track record in managing complex refurbishment and alteration projects.
You’ll be confident working with JCT contracts and have experience acting as Contract Administrator. You’ll be proficient in AutoCAD, NBS Create, and the MS Office 365 suite including MS Project. Strong communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills are essential, as is the ability to manage multiple projects to tight deadlines.
You’ll also have a solid understanding of UK construction regulations and best practices, and a commitment to ongoing professional development.

What you'll get in return

In return, you will be paid a competitive hourly rate. You will be working in a great environment with a potential of contract extension or applying for a permanent position.
