You will manage and undertake professional technical consultancy commissions, including TDD, condition surveys, dilapidations, and other projects.

Effective communication is essential to ensure all information is available for successful project completion. Collaboration with Project Managers and Team Leaders is necessary for efficient financial control and cost-effective service delivery.

You will provide regular updates to the Sector Director on contract progress and support mentoring and supervising junior building surveyors.
