Job description

Are you an experienced Residential Surveyor or Building Surveyor looking for flexibility, career progression, and the chance to work with a forward-thinking surveying firm?

Our client is a fast-growing, independent surveying practice redefining the property industry. Backed by a leading group, the business puts innovation, quality, and people first. Using the latest surveying technology, AI tools, and bespoke reporting systems, you'll deliver accurate, high-quality Level 2 Homebuyer Surveys and Level 3 Building Surveys while building trusted client relationships.

This isn't your typical corporate surveying role. You'll have the autonomy to manage your own diary, work remotely, and focus on what you do best – conducting thorough surveys and providing expert advice. The administrative burden is handled by a dedicated support team, freeing you up to concentrate on fieldwork and client relationships.

The Role

Your day-to-day will involve conducting residential surveys across your region, typically 5‑7 properties per week depending on complexity. You'll inspect everything from Victorian terraces to modern new‑builds, identifying defects, assessing construction quality, and providing clear recommendations to buyers and homeowners.

Beyond the technical work, you'll play an active role in building the business. This means developing relationships with local estate agents, solicitors, and mortgage brokers who can refer work your way. You'll also contribute to marketing efforts – whether that's speaking at local property events, creating content, or simply being the professional face of the business in your area.

Key Responsibilities

• Carrying out Level 2 Homebuyer Surveys and Level 3 Building Surveys
• Building referral networks with estate agents, solicitors, and industry partners
• Supporting business development and marketing initiatives
• Delivering clear, jargon‑free advice directly to clients
• Using AI‑enhanced reporting tools to comprehensive survey reports

What You’ll Need

• AssocRICS, MRICS, or FRICS qualification (essential)
• 2+ years' experience in residential property surveys (desirable)
• Strong technical knowledge across building pathology, construction types, and defect identification
• Excellent report‑writing skills with attention to detail
• Client‑focused approach with strong communication skills
• Collaborative mindset and motivation to contribute to team growth
• Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel within your region

What's on Offer

This is a genuine opportunity to progress. The business is expanding rapidly, and there's a clear pathway to senior surveyor, team lead, or regional director roles for those who want it. You'll be supported every step of the way with structured CPD, mentoring, and the resources to develop your expertise.

The working model is remote‑first and flexible. No micromanagement, no clocking in and out – just results‑focused professionalism. You'll have full administrative support handling diary management, report formatting, and client communications, plus access to cutting‑edge AI surveying tools that speed up inspections and improve accuracy.

• Competitive salary with performance‑based bonuses
• Paid RICS membership fees and full CPD support
• Car allowance
• Latest survey equipment and technology provided
• Quarterly team socials and annual retreats
• Genuine work‑life balance with flexibility to manage your own schedule
