Associate Building Surveyor – Clear Pathway to Directorship

Crawley | £70,000–£80,000 + Bonus + Potential Equity Participation

An opportunity to take the reins, shape an office and progress into Directorship.

Some opportunities offer career progression. Others offer the chance to genuinely influence the direction of a business.

Carriera is working with an established, independently owned property consultancy with a strong reputation across the South East, who are looking to appoint an ambitious Associate Building Surveyor to join their Crawley office.

This is a pivotal appointment for the business, with the successful individual playing an important role in the continued growth and development of the office, leading a talented team and helping shape the future of its Building Surveying offering.

The role will involve a varied mix of professional and project-based building surveying services, alongside responsibility for developing client relationships, mentoring junior surveyors and identifying new business opportunities.

The Opportunity

What makes this position particularly interesting is the opportunity to progress into Directorship in the short term.

This isn't simply another Associate position with an undefined career progression plan. The business has a clear ambition to grow, and is looking for someone who can take ownership, demonstrate commercial leadership and help deliver that vision.

You'll have the autonomy to influence the direction of the Crawley office, strengthen existing client relationships, develop new opportunities and contribute to the wider strategic development of the consultancy.

There is also the potential for equity participation, offering an opportunity to share in the longer-term success of the business.

Your Responsibilities

  • Lead and develop the Building Surveying team within the Crawley office.

  • Oversee a varied portfolio of professional and project-based instructions.

  • Develop and maintain relationships with existing clients while identifying new business opportunities.

  • Mentor and support junior surveyors, including those progressing through their APC.

  • Take responsibility for workload management, service delivery and team development.

  • Contribute to the commercial
