Job description

Associate Building Surveyor

Liverpool or Manchester Permanent, full-time MRICS, typically 8+ years' experience

This one is for a surveyor who has done the technical apprenticeship, is very good at the job, and now

wants a hand on the wheel of the business rather than just a seat in it.

We are director-led and deliberately close-knit, and we are at the point where the next tier of

leadership matters. An Associate here is a genuine step towards Director, not a title handed out to

keep someone.

THE ROLE

• Owning key client relationships and being the name they call first
• Leading a portfolio of professional and project instructions across the practice
• Technical oversight and quality control on colleagues' reports and specifications
• Winning work: fee proposals, pitches, framework submissions and networking
• Line management, mentoring and APC counselling for our surveying team
• Contributing to how the practice runs - resourcing, process, standards, risk
• Hands-on delivery too: surveys, dilapidations, contract administration, principal designer duties, building safety and façade remediation

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• MRICS with substantial post-qualification experience, typically 8+ years
• A track record of running instructions and clients without supervision
• Commercial judgement: fee setting, scope control, risk and profitability
• Someone people want to be managed by
• Existing North West relationships are welcome, though not essential
• Full UK driving licence

WHAT WE OFFER

• Competitive salary dependant on candidate level, car allowance and performance-related bonus
• A defined path to Directorship and a real say in the direction of the practice
• Breadth of service lines: surveying, project management, contract administration, cost consultancy, principal designer, design, and building safety
• Hybrid and flexible working
• CPD, professional subscriptions and leadership development supported
• [insert] days' holiday plus bank holidays, and a company pension

If you have been carrying an associate's workload without the title, this is the conversation to have.
