Job description

Some surveying roles keep you maintaining the status quo.

This one gives you the chance to shape it.

I am partnering with a respected real estate consultancy with over 50 years' experience across the South East. They are known for intelligent thinking, straight talking, and working with clients who value clarity over complexity.

They take a thoughtful, practical approach. They ask questions when things don't look quite right, stay close to the local market and genuinely understand the assets they manage. They are now looking for a Senior Property Management Surveyor who works in the same way.

This is a role for someone who wants more than just day-to-day management, someone who's ready to bring ideas, add value, and play a part in what comes next.

What makes this role stand out?

A portfolio you can actually influence.

You will manage a varied commercial portfolio of retail, industrial, office, warehousing and mixed-use, with freedom to think creatively and make recommendations that optimise performance.

A consultancy that values honesty and good judgement.

No overcomplication.

No layers of corporate red tape.

Just clear thinking, professional integrity, and decisions based on insight.

You will identify opportunities, shape strategies, and support improvements that drive long-term value, not just keep things compliant.

BD involvement without the "sales machine" pressure

You will contribute to pitches and new instructions naturally, as part of helping a growing department strengthen its offer.

Long-term progression.

This is a stable, expanding consultancy where your development genuinely matters, the perfect home for someone ready to step into a more senior, influential role.

What you'll be doing

• Managing a diverse portfolio of commercial assets across the region
• Acting as key contact for clients, tenants and contractors
• Preparing and managing service charge budgets
• Carrying out inspections and resolving issues proactively
• Producing clear, confident reporting
• Leading on asset management initiatives where opportunities arise
• Supporting new instructions and business growth
• Helping refine processes as the department expands

What you'll bring

• Solid commercial property management experience
• A thoughtful, inquisitive mindset - you don't settle for "the usual way"
• Strong relationship-building skills
• Confidence managing your own caseload and making decisions
• A full UK driving licence

Why people thrive here

Because this is a consultancy that:

• treats every property as unique
• values honesty and real conversations
• solves problems through clarity, not complication
• remains curious - always asking "what next?"
• works with a diverse client base across retail, leisure, office, industrial and more

You're trusted here.

Your ideas matter.

And the work feels meaningful.

The package

• c£50k salary depending on experience
• Annual bonus
• 22 days holiday + your birthday off
• Christmas closure + bank holidays
• Friendly team, modern offices, long-term growth

If you're a Senior Property Management Surveyor looking for a role with more influence, more variety, and a consultancy that actually values how you think, this is worth a conversation.
