Perfect role for a mid professional looking to grow their Property & Construction career in Canberra.
Canberra's commercial and residential stock is ageing, and building regulations keep tightening around compliance, energy performance and fire safety.
That's created steady demand for building consultancy surveyors who can actually inspect, assess and report with confidence.
The company behind this role is a mid-sized property and construction consultancy, established enough to have a solid pipeline of work but still growing, which means a Building Consultancy Surveyor joining now gets real input into how things are done rather than just following a rulebook.
Here's what you'll be doing: Carrying out building condition surveys, defect diagnosis and pre-acquisition inspections across commercial and residential sites in Canberra Writing clear, technically sound reports that clients without a construction background can actually understand Advising on dilapidations, party wall matters and contract administration for ongoing projects Liaising with architects, engineers, contractors and clients to keep projects moving and disputes to a minimum Assessing compliance against relevant Australian building codes and standards Managing a varied caseload independently while flagging anything that needs senior sign-off Here are the skills you'll need: A relevant degree in building surveying, construction management or a related discipline A few years' hands-on experience in building consultancy or a similar surveying role Strong report writing skills.
You'll be the one translating technical defects into plain English Working knowledge of Australian building codes, standards and compliance requirements Confidence dealing with contractors, clients and other consultants, sometimes under pressure A full driving licence, since site visits across Canberra are a regular part of the job Key perks and benefits: A$45,000 to A$58,000 depending on experience Hybrid working, so you're not stuck commuting into Canberra five days a week Private medical insurance and pension contribution Bonus scheme on top of base salary Structured development support, with real scope to grow into a more senior surveying position Why pursue a career in Property & Construction?
Property & Construction isn't slowing down.
Canberra in particular has years of refurbishment, compliance upgrades and new development ahead of it, and someone has to assess, report and advise on all of it.
Good surveyors are hard to replace, which is exactly why the field rewards people who are thorough and reliable rather than flashy.
