Job Description

Senior Building Surveyor

Your new company
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. Based in Orpington and benefiting from hybrid flexibility, you’ll take responsibility for managing complex projects and developing long-term client relationships, while mentoring junior colleagues and contributing to the team's overall success.
Your day-to-day will include:
  • Leading and managing a range of building surveying instructions
  • Delivering contract administration services across both small and large-scale schemes
  • Carrying out detailed building surveys on a variety of asset types
  • Preparing condition reports, specifications, schedules and technical drawings
  • Advising on party wall matters, building defects, and planned maintenance
  • Supporting business development through relationship building and spotting new opportunities
  • Assessing and managing risk, ensuring health, safety, legal and environmental standards are upheld
  • 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. A sound understanding of the full project lifecycle is essential, as is the ability to foster long-term client relationships while seeking out new opportunities to grow your own portfolio.
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
  • A collaborative spirit and the desire to develop others
  • A full UK driving licence and access to transport
What you'll get in return
Flexible working options available.
