Job description

I'm working with a well-established, building consultancy team with a reputation built over many years. They operate across the UK, delivering high-quality Building Surveying services across sectors including healthcare, residential, commercial, retail, and education.

This is an excellent opportunity for an Assistant Building Surveyor who is serious about progressing towards chartership and wants to be properly supported along the way.

The Opportunity

You'll join an experienced and well-structured Building Consultancy team where development is taken seriously. This is not lip service APC support - it's embedded in how the team operates.

You'll gain exposure to a wide range of professional and project-led work, working alongside senior surveyors who will actively support your progression.

There is a strong track record of internal promotion here. Many of the senior leadership team started at junior level and progressed through the business. If you're ambitious, there is a clear long-term pathway.

Responsibilities

• Carry out a range of building surveying instructions across multiple sectors
• Assist with surveys, defect analysis, and report writing
• Support in the preparation of specifications and tender documentation
• Attend site inspections and monitor project progress
• Work closely with clients, contractors, and internal teams
• Contribute to project delivery from inception through to completion

About You

• RICS-accredited Building Surveying degree
• Experience working in a Building Surveying role within a consultancy environment
• Currently working towards APC or keen to start
• Strong technical understanding of core Building Surveying services
• Good communication skills and a collaborative approach
• Self-motivated with strong attention to detail

This role would suit someone who feels their current APC support isn't where it should be, or who wants to join a larger, more stable consultancy with the structure and expertise to get them through to chartership.

Package & Benefits

• Highly competitive salary with bonus structure
• Structured APC support and clear career progression
• Pension scheme and life insurance
• Season ticket loan
• Paid professional memberships
• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Flexible working arrangements
• Retail discounts, cashback schemes, gym benefits
• Active social committee and regular team events

If you're looking for a long-term move where your development is genuinely prioritised, this is a strong option.
