Senior Building Surveyor - #2195002

This is not a Senior Building Surveyor role where progression simply means taking on more work. It's for someone ready to keep moving beyond Senior level.

I'm working witha major multidisciplinary consultancy growing its Building Surveying team inBristol and Cardiff. They're looking for a Chartered Building Surveyor who can lead projects and clients now, with the ambition to take on greater commercial and leadership responsibility as they progress.

You'll have the scale, clients and career infrastructure of a major international business behind you, while joining a regionally connected team where your contribution will still be visible.


Your Opportunity

You'll lead refurbishment, improvement and modernisation projects across major public andprivate sector portfolios, alongside a strong mix of professional Building Surveying work.


The opportunity extends beyond delivery. You'll manage client relationships, support bids, mentor developing surveyors and become increasingly involved in the commercial growth of the team.

For someoneasking what actually comes after Senior, the headroom and first class support is the attraction.


What You'll Take Ownership Of

• Leading refurbishment, improvement and modernisation projects
• JCT and NEC contract administration
• Specifications, feasibility studies and technical documentation
• Surveys, inspections and professional Building Surveying advice
• Managing clients and multiple live commissions
• Supporting bids and new business opportunities
• Mentoring junior surveyors and APC candidates
• Working across multidisciplinary project teams

Why This Role Stands Out

You're joining as a Senior Building Surveyor, but you're not confined to being one. As you develop, you'll take greater ownership of clients, commercial performance, business development, mentoring and team leadership.

If you're already doing good work but feel progression in your current business is becoming dependent on hierarchy rather than capability, the proposition is simple. You will get a bigger platform, greater visibility and somewhere meaningful to go next.


Who We're Looking For

You're already MRICS and likely established in your current role.

Perhaps you're:

• In a larger consultancy where the next step feels crowded
• In a smaller practice and looking for greater client and project exposure
• Technically strong but wanting more commercial responsibility
• Already mentoring others and ready for greater leadership
• Simply unwilling to make another sideways move

You'll ideally bring:

• MRICS Chartered status
• Strong project and professional Building Surveying experience
• Refurbishment and improvement project experience
• Good knowledge of JCT and/or NEC contracts
• Strong client management and commercial awareness
• Confidence producing specifications and technical documentation

Experience across dilapidations, party wall matters, fire, access consultancy, NBS, AutoCAD or Revit would add value, but they aren't the core proposition.



Location & Package

Up to £65,000, alongside a strong wider package including:

• Hybrid and flexibleworking
• Flexible holiday arrangements
• Health, wellbeing, financial and lifestyle benefits
• Ongoing professional development
• Major multidisciplinary project exposure
• Increasing client,commercial and leadership responsibility
• A credible pathway beyond Senior Building Surveyor

Interested? Let's Talk

If your next move is simply another Senior Building Surveyor job, there are plenty of those. If you want the next move to put you on a stronger path towards leading clients, people and eventually part of the business, this is worth a confidential conversation.

No CV needed initially. I'd rather understand where you are now, what progression genuinelylooks like there and whether this offers enough to make a move worthwhile.
