Ambitious Building Surveyor wanted to drive real impact in Property & Construction from Brisbane.
Brisbane's building stock is ageing fast while new development keeps stacking up around it, and that gap is exactly where good surveyors earn their keep.
This SME has spent years building a name in Property & Construction, the kind of outfit that's grown steadily rather than chasing headlines, and it's now looking for a Building Surveyor who wants real responsibility rather than a seat at the back of a big firm.
Here's what you'll be doing: Carry out building inspections and condition surveys across a mix of commercial and residential sites in and around Brisbane Write up clear, defensible reports that clients can actually act on, not jargon nobody reads Check compliance against the National Construction Code and relevant Queensland building legislation Liaise with architects, engineers, and contractors to iron out defects before they become expensive problems Advise on maintenance planning and capital works programmes for existing buildings Support junior team members on site visits and report drafting as the team grows Here are the skills you'll need: A relevant qualification in Building Surveying, Construction Management, or similar A few years' hands-on experience in Property & Construction, ideally across varied building types Solid knowledge of the NCC and Queensland building regulations Confidence writing reports that are precise without being impenetrable Good judgement under pressure.
Sites don't wait for perfect conditions The ability to manage your own diary across multiple site visits and office days Key perks and benefits: Salary of A$40,000 to A$59,500, depending on experience Hybrid working, with site visits balanced against time at home or in the office Private medical insurance and pension contribution Bonus scheme on top of base salary Genuine professional development support, including funding for further qualifications Why pursue a career in Property & Construction?
Property & Construction in Brisbane isn't slowing down.
Population growth and ageing infrastructure mean surveyors with solid judgement will stay in demand for years.
It's also one of those careers where experience compounds quickly.
Every building you assess teaches you something the textbooks can't, and a Building Surveyor who puts in the work early tends to be running their own patch within a few years.
This Building Surveyor opportunity is brought to you by The Opportunity Hub UK.
