Join a progressive, multidisciplinary consultancy with decades of experience delivering award-winning property and construction solutions across the UK. With a strong presence nationwide and a collaborative team culture, this is a business that values integrity, technical excellence, and making a genuine social impact. People are at the core of its success-and it shows in everything from career development opportunities to wellbeing support and inclusive workplace values.

Your new role
As a Senior Building Surveyor, you'll play a lead role in delivering a broad and varied portfolio of work.

• Providing hands-on mentoring and development to less experienced surveyors

What you'll need to succeed
This is a role for someone technically strong, commercially aware, and confident in leading projects and people.

You'll bring:

• A degree in a relevant built environment subject
• MRICS status or close to completion
• 2-4 years of post-qualification experience in building surveying
• Experience in contract admin, party wall matters, dilapidations, residential works, and repair schemes
• A good working knowledge of JCT contracts and property law, including the Party Wall etc. Act
• Familiarity with construction risks, building safety regulations, and fire safety/retrofit practices
• Clear, confident communication-both written and verbal
