About the role

Senior Building Surveyor (Investigations / Building Pathology)

📍 Leighton Buzzard 
💰 £41,000 – £50,000 + Car/Allowance

Step into a role where you lead investigations—not just reports.

If you’re a Building Surveyor or Engineer with investigation experience, or a Consultant, this is an opportunity to move into a role where you’ll own projects, advise clients, and progress into leadership.

You’ll join a growing consultancy delivering complex defect diagnosis and structural investigations, with real influence over outcomes—not just ticking boxes.

Why apply?
  • Move beyond standard surveys into specialist investigations
    • Take full ownership of projects from start to finish
    • Work on technically challenging, varied buildings
    • Supportive, close-knit team environment
The role

You’ll lead and deliver a range of building investigation and pathology projects, acting as the key point of contact for clients.

Your work will include:
  • Intrusive & non-intrusive condition surveys
    • Defect diagnosis and root cause analysis
    • Concrete investigations (corrosion, deterioration)
    • Water ingress and façade issues
    • Non-destructive testing (GPR, ultrasonic, etc.)
    • Building investigations for repurposing and design input.
    • Coordinating laboratory testing and interpreting results.
You’ll also:
  • Produce clear, practical, client-facing reports
    • Manage projects (programme, budget, quality)
    • Build strong client relationships
    • Deliver practical solutions.
    • Plan resources, allocate tasks and monitor performance.
    • Mentor junior team members
    • Contribute to technical and process improvements

What we’re looking for
  • Background in Building Surveying, Structural Engineering, or similar
    • Experience with building investigations / defect diagnosis
    • Strong reporting and client-facing skills
    • Ready to take ownership or step up into project leadership
    • Commercial awareness and problem-solving mindset
✅ RICS / ICE / CIOB (or similar) – desirable, not essential

Who this suits
  • A Building Surveyor wanting more technical/specialist work
    • A Consultant stuck in delivery looking for progression
    • Someone who enjoys understanding why buildings fail—not just reporting it

Package
  • ÂŁ41,000 – ÂŁ50,000 salary
    • Car or car allowance
    • Permanent 
    • 37.5 Hours per week.
    • Monday – Friday
    • Opportunity to invest in share scheme after 6 months
    • 2 paid volunteering days per year
    • Access to a dedicated employee app with extensive retail discounts

    • Annual flu vaccinations 
    • Eyecare scheme 
    • Cycle to Work scheme 
    • Refer a Friend incentive
