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

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.
