Job description

Senior Building Surveyor London

£65,000 - £75,000 + Car Allowance + Bonus + Excellent Benefits

A Standout Opportunity with a Market‑Leading Consultancy

Join a highly established and respected building consultancy with an outstanding track record and a modern, progressive approach to building surveying and project delivery. The practice has a long and successful history, yet continues to evolve investing in people, technology and flexible ways of working. Prominent within the market and trusted by major asset owners, the business is large enough to work on significant, high‑profile commissions, but not so big that you become a number. The London office, in particular, is known for its strong team culture, collaborative ethos and supportive leadership, and is now entering an exciting new phase of planned growth.

The Role

The London team is seeking a capable and confident Senior Building Surveyor to support and lead a varied workload across Higher Education, Healthcare and Ministry of Justice estates, acting for well‑known public‑sector clients.

• Developing project briefs and providing technical and design input
• Writing specifications and managing tender processes
• Contract administration and project management through to final account
• Delivering a full scope of professional building surveying advice to major property and asset owners
• Building strong client relationships through excellent stakeholder engagement
• (Desirable) Involvement in dilapidations instructions, though this is not essential

This is a hands‑on, client‑facing role offering genuine autonomy, variety and professional challenge.

About You

You will be an ambitious and commercially aware Senior Building Surveyor who enjoys working in a consultancy environment and contributing to team success.

• A proven background within a building surveying consultancy
• MRICS qualification, or be within 18 months of achieving chartership
• Strong technical capability across core building surveying and project delivery services
• Experience managing projects with confidence from start to finish
• Excellent communication skills and stakeholder management ability
• A positive, proactive mindset and appetite for career progression

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• A well‑established consultancy with a modern, forward‑thinking culture
• High‑quality work for major public‑sector asset owners
• A London team that is successful, close‑knit and genuinely supportive
• Clear, structured career development and progression aligned with continued team growth
• A business where your contribution is visible, valued and recognised

Rewards & Benefits

• Salary £65,000 - £75,000
• Car allowance and performance‑related bonus
• Comprehensive benefits package and generous holiday entitlement
• Hybrid / agile working to support work‑life balance
• Strong commitment to ongoing professional development

This role will appeal to a driven Senior Building Surveyor looking for meaningful work, long‑term career progression and the chance to be part of a consultancy that combines heritage, quality and a modern way of working.
