Job Summary

No two days will be the same for our Surveyors, but your general responsibilities will include:

• Providing Employer's Agent and Contract Administration services across a variety of projects from inception to completion
• Providing pre-contract services, including chairing design team meetings and managing the pre-construction phase
• Preparing, regulating, and analysing costs for tenders and contracts

• Mentoring our Assistant Surveyors in delivering our scope of services and achieving their own professional career goals

You will be joining an established and friendly team at either office, with surveying experience ranging from Director and junior level. You will have the opportunity to work on your personal development plan, tailored to your individual needs and career aspirations. Opportunities for development are regularly reviewed on a bi-annual basis to ensure your career goals are on track, and as a company, we place considerable emphasis on succession planning - meaning we actively support long-term careers into leadership at all ranks.

We offer a competitive salary with great benefits, including a pension scheme, relevant professional membership fees paid, personal development, and CPD training courses.
