Job description

My client are currently seeking a Chartered Building Surveyor to join a professional and established surveying practice based in Bournemouth.

This is an excellent opportunity for a well-rounded Building Surveyor looking for a varied role, offering exposure to a diverse portfolio of commercial projects and a broad range of traditional building surveying services.

The Role:

The practice primarily operates within the commercial sector, undertaking projects ranging from minor repairs and refurbishment works through to major building projects and new-build developments, with project values typically ranging from £50,000 to £4 million.

However, this is far from being a purely project-focused position. The successful candidate will also be involved in the wider scope of professional building surveying, providing advice and services across areas including building surveys, Party Wall matters, defect diagnosis and assessment, and general building consultancy.

The variety of work offers the opportunity to manage projects from inception through to completion, whilst also developing and maintaining a broad professional surveying skill set.

Key Responsibilities:

• Managing a varied portfolio of commercial building projects, from smaller repair schemes through to major refurbishment and new-build developments.
• Undertaking building surveys, inspections and condition assessments.
• Providing professional advice on building defects, identifying causes and recommending appropriate remedial solutions.
• Dealing with dilapidations, including inspections, schedules and associated repair and refurbishment works.
• Undertaking Party Wall matters and providing relevant professional advice.
• Preparing specifications, schedules of work, tender documentation and reports.
• Managing contractors, consultants and other project stakeholders.
• Administering building contracts and monitoring projects through to completion.
• Maintaining strong client relationships and delivering a high standard of professional service.

You will ideally have:

• Chartered status (MRICS).
• Experience within commercial building surveying.
• A good understanding of both professional surveying services and project delivery.
• Experience managing projects of varying sizes and complexity.
• Strong technical, report-writing and communication skills.
