Job description

Graduate/Assistant Building Surveyor

Construction Consultancy | Cambridge

Growth phases don't come around often - and this is one of them.

Our client is expanding their Cambridge presence and is looking for an Assistant Building Surveyor to join at a genuinely exciting point in the business's journey. This is not a backfill role. You'll be part of a growing team, helping shape how things are done while building your own career at the same time.

They're looking for someone bright, curious and enthusiastic – a surveyor who already has some hands‑on experience and is keen to develop, learn and progress toward chartership with the right support around them.

The role

You'll work alongside experienced Building Surveyors across a broad mix of instructions, gaining exposure to both professional and project‑led services. From day one, you'll be encouraged to get involved, ask questions and take on responsibility as your confidence grows.

What you'll be involved in

• Assisting on a range of building surveying instructions
• Supporting projects from early stages through to completion
• Building condition surveys, reports and technical advice
• Working closely with senior surveyors and clients
• Developing your technical knowledge across varied sectors

What they're looking for

• Some experience in a Building Surveying role (consultancy or similar)
• A relevant degree or working toward one
• A genuine interest in developing a career in Building Surveying
• Positive attitude, enthusiasm and a willingness to learn
• Strong communication and organisational skills

Development & support

• Full support toward your RICS APC
• Structured mentoring and hands‑on training
• Clear progression as the Cambridge team continues to grow

Why join?

• Join a team at the start of its growth – not after it's established
• Learn directly from experienced professionals who invest in development
• A supportive, forward‑thinking environment where your contribution matters
• Long‑term career opportunity rather than just a stepping stone

Opportunity

If you're a Graduate/Assistant Building Surveyor looking for a role where you can grow with the business – not just within it – this is one to explore.
