Associate Building Surveyor - Birmingham

Birmingham | Boutique Building Surveying Consultancy | Route to Equity

Carriera is working with a dynamic and ambitious commercial building surveying consultancy to appoint an Associate Building Surveyor who will establish and grow its presence in Birmingham.

Founded only a few years ago, the business has quickly developed an excellent reputation, receiving overwhelming support from clients and creating a strong platform for continued growth.

This is a significant opportunity for an entrepreneurial building surveyor who wants more than a conventional Associate position. You will have the autonomy to build a Birmingham office, develop a team and client base, and take genuine ownership of its performance.

The opportunity:

You will work closely with the founders to establish the Birmingham operation, with responsibility for:

  • Delivering commercial building surveying instructions
  • Developing existing and new client relationships across Birmingham and the Midlands
  • Building a local profile and network
  • Recruiting and developing a building surveying team
  • Taking P&L responsibility for the office
  • Contributing to the wider strategy and growth of the business

About you:

We are looking for someone who is technically capable, commercially minded and, importantly, good with people.

You are likely to be:

  • MRICS qualified with strong commercial building surveying experience
  • Based in or around Birmingham
  • Well connected within the local property market
  • Comfortable developing and maintaining client relationships
  • Ambitious and entrepreneurial
  • Excited by the opportunity to build something rather than inherit an established team

You don't necessarily need to arrive with a significant fee book. More important is your reputation, personality, local network and ability to turn relationships into long-term clients.

In return:

This is an opportunity to create and lead a business within a business, while having the backing, clients and infrastructure of an established and successful consultancy.

The rewards reflect that responsibility, including:

  • Competitive salary
  • Strong performance-related bonus
  • P&L responsibility
  • Genuine route to equity
  • Autonomy to build your own team
  • Direct influence over the direction of the Birmingham business
  • Significant long-term financial upside

For an Associate or Director who has considered setting up independently but wants the backing and reduced risk of an established platform, this represents a compelling alternative.
