Job description

Senior Building Surveyor - Newcastle

Build your career, not just reports. Real autonomy. Real progression. Real impact.

A high-growth, modern building consultancy is looking for a driven, commercially-minded Senior Building Surveyor to join their team in Newcastle.

Founded by former big-firm surveyors, this business exists to do things better: faster decisions, practical solutions, direct client impact and genuine progression - without corporate layers or rigid boxes.

• Pre-acquisition and technical due diligence
• Dilapidations strategy (landlord and tenant)
• Contract administration and project delivery
• Defect analysis and technical reporting
• Schedules of condition and PPM surveys
• Party wall and neighbourly matters
• Exposure to expert witness and housing disrepair work

You will manage your own workload, develop client relationships and have freedom to shape your portfolio to your strengths.

What you need

• MRICS (post-chartership preferred)
• Strong commercial and client-facing skills
• Able to run instructions independently
• Proactive, solutions-focused and confident communicating with decision-makers
• Ambition to grow with the business (BD exposure welcome, not essential)

What's on offer

• £50K = £70K+ depending on experience
• Car allowance
• Performance bonus
• Clear path to future equity for high performers
• Direct access to founders and senior decision-makers
• Real autonomy and trust from day one
• North East-focused portfolio with occasional national work
• Supportive, ambitious and modern culture
• Professional development encouraged and funded

Why this role stands out

• Opportunity to influence a growing business
• No rigid service line silos
• Projects across commercial sectors with high-quality clients
• Balanced, flexible working environment
• Recognition, ownership and long-term progression
