Based on existing Hollis Associate and professional surveying role materials.

This is an opportunity to work on a wide variety of high-quality instructions across commercial property, advising investors, occupiers, landlords and developers on some of the region's most interesting assets.

Working closely with colleagues across Building Surveying and the wider Hollis business, you'll provide expert advice across a range of commercial property instructions, with a particular focus on dilapidations and technical due diligence.

• Delivering dilapidations instructions on behalf of both landlords and tenants.
• Undertaking technical due diligence surveys and reporting for acquisitions, disposals and portfolio transactions.
• Advising clients on lease obligations, reinstatement liabilities and wider landlord and tenant matters.
• Producing high-quality reports and professional advice across a variety of commercial asset types.

• Contributing to the growth and success of the wider Building Surveying team across the Midlands.

About You

We're keen to hear from Chartered Building Surveyors who enjoy professional surveying work, take pride in delivering excellent client service and are looking to play an active role within a collaborative and successful team.

You’ll ideally have:

• MRICS qualification.
• Strong experience in dilapidations and technical due diligence.
• Experience advising landlords, tenants, investors and occupiers across commercial real estate sectors.
• Excellent technical, analytical and report-writing skills.
• Experience developing and maintaining client relationships.
• The ability to support and mentor junior team members.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
• A collaborative and approachable working style.
• A genuine interest in contributing to the success and development of the wider team.

The Company

All together different - We're independent, multi-disciplinary real estate technical experts, project managers, and sustainability consultants. At Hollis, we know buildings inside and out. For more than 30 years, we've been powered by independence and driven by deep technical knowledge - a unique combination that sets us apart.

Advising across core real estate markets in the UK and Europe, we understand how buildings work, how they perform, and how to unlock their full potential with unbiased, value-driven commercial solutions.

Why join us?

At Hollis, we create an environment where people can grow into their potential.

You’ll be supported to take on new challenges at the right pace, building your confidence, capability and technical expertise over time. Whether you’re already experienced or still developing, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from some of the best in the industry and gradually take on more responsibility as you grow.

We’ll encourage you to develop a strong commercial understanding alongside your technical skills-helping you see the bigger picture and build a well-rounded career. You’ll work closely with clients and colleagues, gaining exposure and developing the confidence to make a meaningful contribution.

You’ll also be in a business where your ideas are welcomed, where your manager takes a genuine interest in your development, and where progression is based on your growth-not just time in role.

Above all, it’s a people-first, one team culture. We're supportive, down-to-earth, and focused on helping everyone do their best work while enjoying what they do.

What we offer

We recognise the contribution our people make and offer a competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package, including:

• Life assurance and private medical insurance
• Season ticket loan
• 5% employer pension contribution
• 25 days’ annual leave, plus your birthday off
• Cycle to work scheme, retail vouchers, gym discounts and more
• Electric vehicle scheme
• Longevity awards
• Employee-owned, profit-related bonus

We operate a flexible, hybrid working model, giving you the option to balance time between home and the office. We also support flexible working where possible, recognising that people work best in different ways and at different times.

Alongside the day-to-day, we’re a sociable and connected team. From informal catch-ups to team events, charity initiatives and office activities, there are plenty of opportunities to build relationships and feel part of the wider business.

We’re inclusive

We’re committed to creating a genuinely inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome, supported and able to succeed.

We value different perspectives and experiences, and we work to ensure that our processes, culture and opportunities are open to all. At Hollis, inclusion is part of how we work-helping individuals develop, contribute and feel confident being themselves.

Don’t meet every requirement?

If you’re interested in this role but don’t feel your experience perfectly matches, we’d still encourage you to apply. We know that potential isn’t always reflected in a CV, and we’re open to people who are keen to learn and develop.
