Join a multi-award-winning, multi-disciplinary consultancy with a respected 50-year legacy and a powerful footprint across the East Midlands. Known for its technical excellence and client-first approach, the practice has more than doubled in size in the past six years, creating new opportunities for surveyors who want to grow, influence, and take real ownership of their work.

You’ll be part of a highly skilled team spanning building surveying, architectural design, project management, and health & safety, collaborating on projects across education, commercial, retail, and residential sectors. This is an environment where your expertise is valued, and where your insight genuinely shapes outcomes for clients.

The Role

As a Building Surveyor, you’ll play a pivotal role in assessing, protecting, and enhancing the built environment. Your work will take you from detailed building pathology to hands‑on project delivery, giving you full‑cycle involvement and meaningful professional autonomy.

You Will:

• Conduct thorough condition surveys and provide expert advice on maintenance, refurbishment, and lifecycle planning
• Produce detailed specifications, schedules of work, and technical drawings for refurbishment and capital projects
• Lead contract administration: drafting documentation, overseeing project delivery, and ensuring compliance
• Manage and coordinate capital programmes across multiple sites and stakeholders
• Act as a trusted advisor to clients — shaping strategy, guiding decisions, and building long‑term relationships
• Apply strategic problem‑solving to improve service delivery and project outcomes
• Collaborate with architects and H&S specialists to deliver integrated, multi‑disciplinary solutions
• Maintain accurate records, ensuring projects are well‑documented and professionally delivered

What You Bring

• Minimum 5 years’ consultancy‑based building surveying experience
• BSc in Building Surveying (or equivalent / qualified by experience)
• Strong knowledge of commercial property, maintenance strategies, and building pathology
• Experience in the education sector (highly desirable)
• Competence in AutoCAD and Microsoft Office
• Excellent organisational and project coordination skills
• A proactive mindset, strong attention to detail, and a commitment to high professional standards

What’s in It for You

• £45,000 - £55,000 per annum
• 25 days' holiday + bank holidays
• Buy and sell up to 5 days' annual leave
• Extra day off for your birthday
• Travel Mileage Paid
• Pension, healthcare plan, and life insurance
• Access to an employee discount portal
• Fully funded training, CPD, and professional development
• A supportive, sociable team culture with real respect for the work architects
• Regular team days out and social activities
• Access to a digital GP 24/7 365 days a year
• Fantastic discounts on shopping, restaurants and family days out

Structured working hours

• Monday - Friday
• 8:30am -4:30pm
• Early finish every Friday
