Job description

Job Title: Associate Building Surveyor
Location: Birmingham

I’m working on behalf of a highly respected, independently owned consultancy that’s looking to appoint an Associate-level Chartered Building Surveyor in Birmingham. This is a rare opportunity for an experienced surveyor who’s ready to take on more responsibility and looking towards their long-term career growth — with a clear path to equity and business leadership.

What Makes This Role Stand Out:

• Equity opportunity – Clear route to becoming a Principal with shareholding and voting rights
• Strategic involvement – Real influence in how the business is run, not just the projects you deliver
• Variety of work – High-quality projects across contract admin, TDD, dilapidations, project monitoring and more
• Excellent client base – Fund clients, office and industrial sectors, and public sector organisations
• Collaborative culture – Work alongside senior peers in a supportive, multi-disciplinary team

Key Responsibilities:

• Leading contract administration and project management duties
• Carrying out technical due diligence and other professional surveying services
• Managing client relationships and helping to grow the client base
• Supporting and mentoring junior surveyors
• Collaborating across disciplines to deliver integrated services

Ideal Candidate Profile:

• MRICS qualified or equivalent experience
• Solid background in both project and professional work
• Experience with fund-led, office, industrial, or public sector clients
• Strong technical, commercial, and interpersonal skills
• Based in or familiar with the West Midlands market

Salary & Benefits:

• Competitive base salary (dependent on experience)
• Bonus scheme and strong benefits package
• Long-term opportunity for equity and senior leadership
