We are seeking an experienced Building Surveyor to join a dynamic Surveyor Team on an interim basis, supporting a portfolio of schools and education buildings across London. This is an excellent opportunity to make a direct impact on the delivery, safety, and improvement of children’s services facilities while working within a collaborative and forward-thinking environment.

As the link surveyor for a group of schools and education sites, you will act as the key point of contact for headteachers, business managers, site managers, contractors, consultants, building control, planning, and health & safety teams. You will be responsible for managing planned and urgent works, ensuring projects are delivered to a high standard, on time, and within budget.
Key responsibilities include:
  • Assessing condition issues and developing practical, cost-effective solutions
  • Preparing and reviewing planned maintenance programmes with individual schools
  • Supporting the development of specifications, quotes, and ITTs
  • Assisting in bid evaluations and contractor/consultant appointments
  • Project managing works from inception through to delivery
  • Contributing to the delivery of major capital projects and external funding bids
  • Maintaining project management, financial and asset management systems
  • Ensuring works align with the Council’s climate and ecological emergency commitments
About You
To succeed in this role, you will bring:
  • A degree in Building Surveying (or equivalent professional experience)
  • Proven experience in building surveying and project management
  • Strong knowledge of building condition assessments, maintenance, and capital works
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to engage confidently with a wide range of stakeholders
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
  • Familiarity with MS Office products such as Word and Excel
This role would particularly suit a surveyor who enjoys a mix of hands-on surveying, stakeholder engagement, and project delivery, and who is motivated by the chance to support schools and children’s services.

If you are an experienced Building Surveyor with a background in education or public sector property, and you are available for an immediate start, we would love to hear from you.
