Building Surveyor
Edinburgh | Hybrid Working
I'm working with an established property and construction consultancy looking to appoint an experienced Building Surveyor to join its Edinburgh team.
This is a varied opportunity combining professional Building Surveying with project work, giving you the chance to manage your own instructions, work closely with clients and become involved in refurbishment and construction projects from initial advice through to completion.
The Role
You'll manage a broad range of Building Surveying instructions, with responsibilities likely to include:
Managing refurbishment, alteration and construction projects
Providing Contract Administration services
Undertaking building and condition surveys
Preparing specifications, schedules of works and technical reports
Monitoring works on site through to completion
Providing practical building and property advice to clients
Supporting dilapidations and Party Wall instructions
Managing project budgets, programmes and resources
Liaising with clients, contractors and other consultants
Supporting fee proposals and wider business development
Providing guidance to more junior members of the team
About You
You'll ideally have a degree in Building Surveying or a related discipline, together with experience gained within a consultancy or similar property environment.
MRICS or MCIOB would be advantageous, although this isn't essential where you can demonstrate strong relevant experience.
Experience across some of the following would be particularly useful:
Contract administration
Refurbishment and improvement projects
Building and condition surveys
Technical specifications and schedules of works
Dilapidations
Party Wall matters
Project monitoring
AutoCAD and technical drawings
You'll need to be comfortable managing your own workload and dealing directly with clients, with strong communication skills and a practical, commercially minded approach.
Why Consider It?
This would suit a Building Surveyor looking for a role offering genuine variety and autonomy, rather than being pigeonholed into one particular area of Building Surveying.
You'll have the opportunity to take ownership of projects, develop client relationships and work alongside an experienced team, with plenty of scope to continue progressing your career.
The package includes:
Competitive salary dependent on experience
Hybrid and flexible working
25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays
Pension
Healthcare benefits
Life assurance
Enhanced family leave
Additional holiday purchase options
Ongoing professional and career development
Location
The position is based in Edinburgh, with hybrid working offering a combination of office and home-based working.
If you're an experienced Building Surveyor looking for a varied consultancy role with a good balance of professional work, projects and client responsibility, I'd be keen to have a confidential conversation.
