Job description

Beach Baker is exclusively partnering with a leading national property consultancy to recruit a Development Surveyor for their highly regarded Development & Planning team in Bristol.

This is a rare opportunity to join a forward-thinking, strategic advisory business working at the cutting edge of regeneration, placemaking, and mixed-use development. You'll play a key role in delivering transformational projects across the South West, South Wales, and beyond-from brownfield regeneration and town centre repurposing to garden settlements and infrastructure-led growth.

Why This Role?

• Career Growth - Join a national team with a clear path to progression.
• Diverse Projects - Work on high-profile schemes across both public and private sectors.
• Strategic Impact - Help shape commercially viable, sustainable communities.
• Attractive Package - Competitive salary, bonus, car allowance, and full benefits.

What You'll Be Doing

• Advising on the disposal and strategy of complex development sites, including brownfield assets.
• Providing commercial input into masterplans, delivery strategies, and land assembly.
• Supporting feasibility studies and market research to inform regeneration and repurposing.
• Producing development appraisals and viability assessments for a range of clients.
• Assisting in structuring development agreements and public-private partnerships.
• Contributing to the design and delivery of major regeneration and infrastructure-led schemes.

What We're Looking For

• RICS-qualified Surveyor with experience in development consultancy or strategic advisory.
• Strong commercial insight and technical competence.
• Excellent communication, report writing, and presentation skills.
• A proactive, detail-oriented team player who can also work independently.
• Knowledge of the South West market is a bonus, but not essential.

What's on Offer

• Salary: £35,000-£45,000 + Car Allowance + Discretionary Bonus
• Benefits Include:
• Enhanced pension
• Private medical insurance
• Group income protection & life assurance
• Season ticket loan & hybrid working
• Retail discounts, ISA options, and more
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
