Senior Building Surveyor

Exeter (Hybrid Working)

£55,000 to £59,000 + Flexible Working + APC Support + Long-Term Progression

This is an excellent opportunity for a Senior Building Surveyor to join a large multidisciplinary property consultancy with a stable pipeline of public and private sector work, strong progression opportunities, and a genuinely relaxed and supportive culture.

Are you a Building Surveyor with strong project-running experience looking to take ownership of a varied portfolio of projects?

Do you want to join a flexible, non-corporate business that actively supports chartership, progression into leadership, and long-term professional development?

This well-established consultancy works closely with local authorities and private sector clients, delivering a wide variety of building surveying and project work across Devon and the Southwest. Projects range from small maintenance works through to schemes valued up to half a million, including traditional heritage buildings, listed properties, schools, and modern commercial units. Despite being part of a large national group, the regional office maintains a friendly, collaborative, and close-knit working environment.

In this role, you will manage projects from inception through to completion, taking responsibility for specifications, tenders, planning applications, contract administration, and project delivery. You will oversee a variety of technical surveying projects while also mentoring junior staff and maintaining strong client relationships. The role offers a balance of office, home, and site-based working across Devon and Somerset.

With that, the ideal candidate will have strong building surveying and project-running experience, good technical knowledge of buildings and construction, and confidence managing projects autonomously within a consultancy or similar environment.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a highly respected consultancy where you can progress into senior leadership while working on a diverse and technically interesting portfolio of projects.

The Role:

• Managing a range of building surveying and project work from start to finish
• Producing specifications, tenders, and project documentation
• Contract administration and project delivery across multiple sites
• Attending site visits, progress meetings, and client meetings
• Managing technical projects and mentoring junior team members
• Working across heritage, education, commercial, and public sector projects
• Hybrid working across office, home, and site locations

The Person:

• Building Surveying and project-running experience
• Good technical understanding of buildings and construction methods
• Experience with specifications, tenders, and contract administration
• Knowledge of AutoCAD and general H&S compliance
• Self-motivated, proactive, and team-oriented
• Commutable distance to Exeter
• Reference Number: BBH(phone number removed)

We are an equal opportunities company and welcome applications from all suitable candidates
