Job description

Beach Baker is proud to partner with a national property consultancy to recruit a senior level Building Surveyor for their Bristol office. This strategic hire supports the company's continued expansion - not a replacement - offering the chance to play a pivotal role in its growth journey.

Why Join

1. Reputation: Strong name in the market.
2. Supportive, medium-sized practice: Join a collaborative environment where quality service takes priority over fee targets.
3. Diverse client base: Work with London funds, asset management companies, high-end residential, hotels, and private schools. The business avoids heavy reliance on public sector work.
4. Career autonomy: Whether you're a generalist or want to develop a specialist niche, the company will support your career aspirations.
5. Work-life balance: Enjoy a non-corporate atmosphere, flexible WFH options, and no timesheets.

The Role

1. Engage with a wide range of commercial clients.
2. Manage a balanced workload across professional surveys, project management, and dilapidations.
3. Service national portfolio clients with limited travel - most work is within one hour of Bristol.

What's on Offer

1. Strong financial stability with consistent fee pipelines and healthy cash reserves.
2. Opportunity to work alongside industry-leading professionals across eight UK offices.
3. A business where your ideas, specialisms, and contributions are genuinely valued.

Who We're Looking For

1. Established Director/Partner, or Associate Director looking to take their next career step.
2. Proven track record of client relationship development and fee generation.
3. Strong local market knowledge in the South West - although candidates looking to relocate will also be considered.
