Carriera is partnering with an established building consultancy that is experiencing an exciting period of growth and looking to strengthen its London Building Surveying team.
Having already achieved its annual turnover target ahead of schedule, the business has ambitious plans for its London operation, with a clear strategy to significantly expand its offering, client base and project portfolio.
Led by an experienced Building Consultancy Director with over 15 years' experience across the property and construction sector, the London team is developing an impressive portfolio of work, with recent project wins, established frameworks and several significant opportunities in the pipeline.
This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious Building Surveyor to join a business where they can make a genuine contribution, work closely with senior leadership and play an important role in its continued success.
Working closely with the Building Consultancy leadership team, you'll be involved in delivering a varied portfolio of building surveying and project consultancy instructions across the commercial and public sectors.
Recent successes include securing a council office refurbishment in Margate, alongside progressing a significant opportunity with a pension fund in Croydon. The latter presents an interesting mix of dilapidations, quantity surveying and high-specification office refurbishment work.
Beyond these current instructions, the business has secured several frameworks and is developing an exciting pipeline of larger-scale projects, including opportunities involving schemes with values in excess of £50m.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to take ownership of projects, develop client relationships and broaden their experience across both project and professional building surveying services.
Responsibilities will include:
Managing and delivering building surveying and project consultancy instructions.
Contract administration and project management.
Preparing specifications, schedules of work and tender documentation.
Managing commercial refurbishment and improvement projects.
Delivering professional services, including dilapidations and building surveying advice.
Liaising with clients, contractors, consultants and other project stakeholders.
Supporting the continued development of the London team and its client portfolio.
Join a business with genuine momentum
The consultancy has already achieved its annual turnover target, with ambitious plans to significantly grow its London operation over the coming years.
An exciting and varied project portfolio
From local authority refurbishments and commercial office projects to pension fund instructions and larger-scale development opportunities, the business is building an increasingly diverse workload.
Work alongside experienced leadership
You'll work closely with an experienced Building Consultancy Director who brings over 15 years of industry experience and is actively driving the expansion of the regional business.
Opportunity to make your mark
Unlike joining a large, established corporate consultancy, this opportunity offers the chance to become an important part of a growing operation, with direct exposure to senior decision-makers and the ability to influence the direction of the team.
Long-term career development
As the business continues to expand, there will be opportunities to take on greater responsibility, develop client relationships and progress your career alongside the growth of the consultancy.
We're interested in speaking with Building Surveyors who are looking for more than simply another move and want to be part of an ambitious and developing business.
Ideally, you'll have:
Experience working within a building consultancy or property environment.
A background in delivering project and professional building surveying services.
Experience in contract administration and commercial refurbishment projects.
Strong communication and client-facing skills.
The ability to manage instructions and work with an appropriate level of autonomy.
A proactive, commercially aware approach and a genuine interest in developing your career.
MRICS status would be advantageous but is not essential. The business is open to considering both Intermediate and Senior Building Surveyors, with the right experience, attitude and ambition being the most important factors.
Salary up to £50,000–£60,000, depending on experience.
Benefits package.
Exposure to a growing portfolio of commercial and public sector projects.
Direct access to experienced senior leadership.
Genuine opportunities for career progression.
The chance to play a significant role in the expansion of an ambitious London operation.
