Job description

Overview

I'm currently working with a high-quality, independent building consultancy that is opening an office in Liverpool and is looking to appoint an Associate Director-level Building Surveyor. They are also open to speaking with strong Senior Building Surveyors who are keen to progress into an Associate / Associate Director role over the next few years.

This is a senior opportunity for someone who values autonomy, variety and influence - with scope to grow alongside the business rather than sit within a rigid hierarchy.

The Company

The consultancy provides commercial building surveying and project advisory services to a well-established client base of investors, developers and occupiers. Their work covers a range of office, industrial and mixed-use assets, with a strong emphasis on practical, commercially focused advice.

They operate with a lean structure and a hands-on culture, encouraging senior surveyors to stay close to both clients and projects.

The Role

Your responsibilities include:

• Delivering and overseeing a range of professional and project-based surveying instructions
• Acting as a trusted advisor to clients
• Playing a senior role within the Liverpool-based team following the relocation
• Mentoring and supporting junior surveyors as the team develops
• Contributing to business development in a credible, relationship-led way

About you

• MRICS qualified
• Currently operating at Associate, Senior Associate, or Senior Building Surveyor level
• Strong technical foundation across core building surveying services
• Commercially aware, confident with clients and comfortable working with autonomy
• Ambitious, with a clear desire to progress and take on more responsibility over time

Why consider it?

• Senior role within a respected, independent consultancy
• Clear and realistic pathway for progression based on performance
• High degree of trust and autonomy
• High-quality, varied workload
• Competitive salary and benefits, aligned to experience and impact
• Strong bonus structure

All conversations will be handled confidentially. If you'd like to explore whether this could be a sensible next step, I'd be happy to have an informal discussion.
