Chartered Building Surveyor

Central London | £55,000–£70,000 + Bonus + Benefits

An opportunity to work on some of London's most interesting commercial property projects within an established boutique consultancy.

Carriera is working with a highly regarded, independent building consultancy based in the heart of London's West End, who are looking to appoint a Chartered Building Surveyor to support the continued growth of their Building Surveying team.

Employing approximately 25 professionals, the consultancy has developed an excellent reputation for delivering high-quality building surveying and project management services to an impressive client base, including blue-chip corporate occupiers, developers, property estates and institutional investors.

The Building Surveying team comprises five experienced professionals and operates with a genuinely collaborative approach. Led by an entrepreneurial Managing Director and supported by an established Director team, the business offers an environment where surveyors are encouraged to take ownership, develop client relationships and play an active role in the wider success of the practice.

The Opportunity

This is a varied position offering an approximate 65/35 split between project delivery and professional building surveying services.

You'll be involved in a diverse range of commercial property instructions, predominantly across the office and retail sectors, providing exposure to both project management and traditional professional surveying work.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing project instructions, including contract administration and refurbishment works.

• Undertaking technical due diligence and acquisition surveys.

• Preparing and negotiating schedules of condition.

• Advising on dilapidations and landlord and tenant matters.

• Managing party wall instructions.

• Building and maintaining relationships with clients, contractors and professional teams.

The role offers the opportunity to become increasingly client-facing, taking responsibility for instructions and developing your own relationships as your experience grows.

The Projects & Client Exposure

One of the real attractions of this opportunity is the calibre of the consultancy's client base and the variety of instructions it undertakes.

You'll gain exposure to commercial property portfolios, working with established corporate occupiers, developers, estates and institutional investors.

With a workload spanning office and retail environments, you'll have the opportunity to develop your project delivery experience while strengthening your professional surveying capabilities.

The business is particularly keen to attract someone who enjoys the technical side of building surveying but also wants to develop their commercial awareness and become a trusted adviser to clients.

What They're Looking For

• MRICS Chartered Building Surveyor with a minimum of 12 months' post-qualification experience (PQE).

• Experience across both project and professional building surveying services.

• A good understanding of contract administration and project delivery.

• Strong communication and client-facing skills.

• Someone commercially aware, ambitious and keen to develop their career.

• The ability to work collaboratively while taking ownership of individual instructions.

Candidates with more extensive post-qualification experience are equally welcome.

What's on Offer?

• Salary between £55,000 and £70,000, depending on experience.

• Performance-related bonus scheme.

• Professional subscriptions paid.

• Pension provision.

• Competitive annual leave entitlement.

• Laptop, mobile phone and additional benefits.

• Excellent exposure to an established client base and varied commercial property instructions.

• A supportive, collaborative environment with genuine long-term career prospects.
