Job description

Building Surveyor | £55,000 - £65,000 + £5,000 Car Allowance

Bedford / Central London | Hybrid Working

Want more autonomy, better projects and the chance to help shape something rather than just slot into another team?

I'm working with a growing independent building consultancy that is making a key hire as part of its long-term expansion plans.

You'll take ownership of a strong pipeline of major works projects, predominantly across central London, with genuine freedom to manage your own workload and influence how the business develops.

What you'll be doing

• Deliver major works from instruction through to completion
• Prepare specifications and act as Contract Administrator
• Manage external and communal refurbishment projects
• Work across fire-door replacements, roofing and cyclical works
• Carry out damp surveys, inspections and drone surveys
• Build strong relationships with repeat residential clients

What we're looking for

• 2-3+ years' Building Surveying experience
• Strong Contract Administration and specification experience
• Residential refurbishment or major works background
• Comfortable running projects independently
• Confident dealing directly with clients and contractors
• MRICS welcomed but not essential

Experience in Party Wall, expert witness or HomeBuyer work would be useful, but definitely not a requirement.

Package

• £45,000 - £60,000 basic salary
• £5,000 car allowance
• Performance-related bonus
• 25 days' holiday
• Pension and healthcare
• Flexible hybrid working
• Typically only 1-2 office days per week

Why this role will excite you

• Join at a key stage of the consultancy's growth
• Take real ownership instead of sitting beneath multiple management layers
• Work on high-quality central London residential projects
• Help shape future services and the growing surveying team
• Genuine scope for your role to develop as the business expands

If you want more responsibility, flexibility and influence in your next move, this is well worth exploring.
