Building Surveyor
Birmingham | Hybrid Working
I'm working with a well-established property and construction consultancy looking to appoint an experienced Building Surveyor to its Birmingham team.
This is a varied role combining professional Building Surveying and project work, with the opportunity to manage your own instructions, develop strong client relationships and work across a diverse portfolio of properties and sectors.
It would particularly suit a Building Surveyor who enjoys a mixture of technical surveying and hands-on project delivery rather than being focused solely on one area of the profession.
The Role
You'll take responsibility for a varied workload, working directly with clients and alongside other property and construction professionals.
Typical responsibilities will include:
Delivering a broad range of professional Building Surveying services.
Managing refurbishment, extension and construction projects from inception through to completion.
Providing contract administration and monitoring works on site.
Undertaking building and condition surveys and preparing technical reports.
Producing specifications and schedules of works.
Advising clients throughout the project lifecycle and acting as a key point of contact.
Managing project budgets, programmes and resources.
Working collaboratively with other consultants and property professionals.
Supporting Party Wall and dilapidations instructions where required.
Contributing to fee proposals, tenders and business development.
Providing guidance and support to more junior colleagues.
About You
You'll ideally have a degree in Building Surveying or a related discipline, with a good level of experience gained within a consultancy or similar property environment.
MRICS or MCIOB would be advantageous, although applications are equally welcomed from experienced Building Surveyors who have developed strong practical expertise.
You'll ideally be able to demonstrate experience across areas such as:
Contract administration
Refurbishment and improvement projects
Building and condition surveys
Technical specifications and schedules of works
Project monitoring and delivery
Party Wall matters
Dilapidations
AutoCAD and technical drawings
Just as importantly, you'll be comfortable managing your own workload and dealing directly with clients. Strong communication skills and a practical, commercially aware approach will be important.
Why Consider It?
This is a good opportunity for a Building Surveyor looking for greater ownership of projects and a genuinely varied workload within an established consultancy environment.
You'll work alongside experienced professionals while having the autonomy to manage your own instructions and develop relationships with clients.
The position offers:
Competitive salary depending on experience
Hybrid working
25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays
Pension
Healthcare benefits
Life assurance
Enhanced family leave
Additional holiday purchase options
Professional and career development
Supportive, collaborative team environment
Location
The role is based in Birmingham, with hybrid working offering a combination of office and home-based working.
