Assistant Property Management Surveyor – Client Side

Job Role – Property Management Surveyor

Location – West Midlands

Job Type – Permanent, Full Time

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

We are working with an ambitious and growing commercial property landlord looking to appoint a Property Management Surveyor to join their established team.

This is an excellent opportunity for a surveyor with a few years' experience in commercial property management who is looking to transition into a client-side environment, taking a more hands-on and commercially focused approach to managing property assets.

Our client owns and manages a substantial and diverse commercial property portfolio, with continued investment and ambitious plans for further growth.

The opportunity would particularly suit someone currently working within a property consultancy who is keen to move away from traditional third-party management and gain greater exposure to the landlord's perspective, asset performance and wider investment strategy.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

• Assist with the day-to-day management of a diverse commercial property portfolio, including retail, industrial and office assets.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with tenants, contractors and other key stakeholders.
• Manage lease events, including rent reviews, renewals and other landlord and tenant matters.
• Support service charge budgeting, expenditure management and reconciliations.
• Undertake regular property inspections, ensuring assets are maintained to a high standard.
• Identify opportunities to improve property performance, maximise income and enhance asset value.
• Work closely with senior colleagues on asset management initiatives and wider portfolio strategy.
• Support the continued growth and development of the property portfolio

WHAT OUR CLIENT IS LOOKING FOR

We are looking for an ambitious and commercially minded surveyor who is keen to develop their career within a growing property investment business.

• Ideally minimum 1 years' experience within commercial property management.
• Experience gained within a property consultancy, managing commercial assets on behalf of landlords or investors.
• Working towards MRICS accreditation (APC candidates encouraged), although qualification is not essential.
• A good understanding of commercial leases, landlord and tenant matters and service charge management.
• Strong communication skills and the confidence to build relationships with tenants and stakeholders.
• A proactive, organised and commercially aware approach.
• Ambition to develop beyond traditional property management and gain broader exposure to asset management.

WHY JOIN OUR CLIENT

This is an opportunity to make the move into a genuine client-side position with an ambitious landlord continuing to expand its commercial property interests.

Rather than managing properties on behalf of external clients, you will work directly for the property owner, gaining greater visibility of investment decisions, asset management strategy and the commercial drivers behind portfolio performance.

You will benefit from:

• Client-side exposure – Work directly for an established commercial property owner and investor.
• Career development – Gain broader experience across property and asset management, with opportunities to progress.
• Portfolio variety – Work across a diverse range of commercial property assets.
• Greater commercial involvement – Contribute to decisions that directly influence asset performance and long-term value.
• Growing business – Join an ambitious landlord with continued investment and plans for further expansion.

For a surveyor looking to move from consultancy into a more commercially driven, client-side environment, this represents an excellent opportunity to develop their experience and build a long-term career.
