Chartered Building Surveyor

Manchester | Northwest | Varied Projects | Growing Consultancy

Salary up to £55k

Ready for a role that gives you the variety, autonomy and client exposure to really make your mark?

We're working with a growing construction consultancy that is looking to appoint an experienced Chartered Building Surveyor (MRICS) to join its expanding Manchester team.

With a strong pipeline of work across Manchester and the wider Northwest, this is a great opportunity for a Chartered Surveyor who wants more than just routine instructions. You'll be involved across a diverse mix of professional and project-based work, working directly with clients and taking ownership of projects from initial instruction through to completion.

The Role

You'll be joining a collaborative team where Chartered Surveyors are trusted to take responsibility for their own workload while also contributing to the wider growth of the business.

Your work will span a mixture of student accommodation, residential and mixed-use properties, alongside a variety of project and professional surveying instructions.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Delivering a broad range of Building Surveying services across Manchester and the Northwest.
• Undertaking condition surveys, defect diagnosis and technical due diligence.
• Providing dilapidations advice and preparing detailed reports and schedules.
• Preparing specifications, scopes of work and tender documentation.
• Acting as Contract Administrator on projects under JCT and NEC contracts.
• Managing refurbishment, remedial and maintenance projects from inception through to completion.
• Building and maintaining strong client relationships.
• Providing professional advice and helping clients develop appropriate project strategies.
• Supporting framework commissions and repeat client programmes.
• Taking an active role in developing junior members of the team.
• Working collaboratively with colleagues across the wider business and supporting projects nationally when required.

Experience they're looking for

We're looking for an established Chartered Building Surveyor (MRICS) who is confident managing their own workload and comfortable dealing directly with clients.

You'll ideally have:

• An RICS-accredited degree in Building Surveying.
• MRICS / Chartered Building Surveyor status.
• Strong experience across both professional and project Building Surveying.
• Experience undertaking surveys, defect analysis, TDD and/or dilapidations.
• Experience with contract administration, ideally across JCT and NEC.
• Strong technical report-writing and specification skills.
• Experience managing projects through to completion.
• Excellent communication and client-facing skills.
• The ability to work autonomously while contributing positively to a collaborative team.
• A commercial mindset and an interest in developing client relationships and winning repeat business.
• AutoCAD and NBS experience; Revit/BIM knowledge would be advantageous but isn't essential.

Why this opportunity?

This is a chance to join a consultancy where you can take ownership of your work without being left to figure everything out alone.

• Work on a genuinely varied portfolio of projects across Manchester and the Northwest.
• Combine professional surveying with project delivery.
• Work with established clients across a range of sectors.
• Take ownership of projects and client relationships.
• Get involved in framework and repeat-business opportunities.
• Mentor and support junior colleagues.
• Influence the continued growth of the Manchester team.
• Develop your commercial and business development skills.
• Work within a supportive and ambitious consultancy where your experience is valued.

If you're a Chartered Building Surveyor looking for greater autonomy, varied work and the opportunity to play a key role within a growing Manchester team, we'd love to hear from you.
