Chartered Building Surveyor

Plenty of consultancies say they offer variety. Few London teams will put a recently qualified Chartered Building Surveyor onto dilapidations, defect investigations, rights of light and contract administration in the same quarter, with Directors only a few desks away.

The firm is a national property consultancy with a lean, well-regarded building surveying team in London. Industrial, logistics and office property make up most of the work, and a lot of it comes back from long-standing clients or through referral, so the pipeline doesn’t depend on chasing new names.

The Chartered Building Surveyor Role

Work splits roughly evenly between project and professional instructions. You’ll run your own jobs and support Associates and Directors on larger commissions. The brief is deliberately broad for the first few years after qualifying, so you have time to find your strengths before specialising.

You’ll deal with clients directly from the start. Everyone earns fees here, so you’ll be encouraged to spot follow-on work and build your own relationships. Structured technical, management and client care training runs alongside the day job.

Duties of the Chartered Building Surveyor to include:

• Preparing schedules of condition, dilapidations schedules, claims and responses
• Carrying out building surveys and technical due diligence on industrial and office assets
• Investigating defects and writing clear, commercially focused reports
• Contract administering refurbishment and fit-out projects
• Preparing specifications, tender packages and planned maintenance programmes
• Assisting on rights of light and neighbourly matters
• Supporting project monitoring for funders and investors
• Managing fee proposals and client correspondence on your own instructions

The Person?

A technically sound, recently qualified surveyor who’s comfortable dealing with clients without a senior in the room.

The Chartered Building Surveyor will ideally have:

• MRICS, typically 1-3 years post-qualification
• A background in commercial building surveying consultancy
• Solid dilapidations and contract administration experience
• Exposure to the industrial, logistics or office sectors
• Confident report writing and client communication

In Return………?

• £55,000 – £67,000 basic salary
• Company pension scheme
• RICS membership fees paid
• Flexible hybrid working, typically two days a week in the office
