Senior / Associate Building Surveyor
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.
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
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
