Ambitious Chartered Building Surveyor wanted to drive real impact in Property & Construction from Oxford.
Oxford's property market is a strange mix.
Centuries-old buildings sit metres from new-build labs and research campuses, and someone has to make sure all of it is sound, compliant and fit for purpose.
This growing property and construction startup is building a leaner, faster way to deliver building surveying work across the region, and it needs a Chartered Building Surveyor who wants more ownership than a traditional practice would ever hand over.
Here's what you'll be doing: Carrying out building surveys, condition reports and schedules of dilapidations across a mixed portfolio of commercial and residential sites in Oxford and the surrounding area Advising clients on defects, maintenance strategy and repair options, then writing up findings clearly enough that non-surveyors can act on them Managing small to mid-sized contract administration projects from tender through to practical completion Producing party wall awards and advising on boundary and neighbourly matters Working directly with clients, contractors and the founding team to shape how the surveying function runs day to day Helping build out templates, processes and tools as the business scales, rather than just following ones that already exist Here are the skills you'll need: MRICS qualification (or very close to achieving it), with solid post-qualification experience as a Chartered Building Surveyor Strong technical knowledge of building pathology, defects diagnosis and construction methods, old and new Confidence running client relationships without someone checking your every move Comfortable with ambiguity.
Startups don't always have a process for everything, and you'll sometimes need to write the playbook yourself Clear written and verbal communication, especially when translating technical detail for non-technical clients A full UK driving licence, since site visits across Oxford and nearby counties are a regular part of the role Key perks and benefits: £36,500 to £45,500, depending on experience Equity in the business.
You're not just an employee here, you're building something you'll own a piece of Hybrid working, with flexibility to split time between site visits, home and the Oxford base Flexible hours that work around site schedules rather than a rigid 9 to 5 A genuine learning and development budget, plus support towards continued RICS CPD Why pursue a career in Property & Construction?
Property and construction rarely slows down, even when other sectors wobble.
Oxford in particular has a steady pipeline of heritage conservation work, university-linked development and commercial refurbishment, which keeps Chartered Building Surveyor roles both varied and in demand.
Good surveyors build a reputation fast in this field, and that reputation tends to open doors well beyond the first job.
