Job Description

Senior Building Surveyor
Salary: Up to £70,000 + benefits

I'm working with an award-winning consultancy in Essex who are looking to bring in a Senior Building Surveyor. Their recognition isn't just historic either - they've picked up multiple industry awards this year, showing they're not living off past glories but continuing to raise the bar in the work they deliver.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced Senior Building Surveyor who wants more autonomy and the chance to make a real impact. You'll be trusted to take ownership of projects, develop client relationships, and play a part in mentoring junior colleagues.

The workload is varied - as Senior Building Surveyor, you'll be involved in:

  • Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPMs)
  • Contract administration
  • Dilapidations
  • Section 20 works
  • Insurance reinstatement assessments
  • General building consultancy instructions

What they're looking for:

  • MRICS-qualified Building Surveyor with at least 3 years' post-qualification experience
  • Broad technical background with proven delivery across commercial and residential projects
  • Strong commercial mindset - spotting opportunities, not just delivering projects
  • Confidence in building and maintaining client relationships (and ideally bringing some existing contacts)
  • Ability to take responsibility for projects and mentor junior surveyors

What's on offer for the Senior Building Surveyor:

  • Salary up to £70,000 (depending on experience)
  • Hybrid/flexible working options
  • A pipeline of high-quality work across loyal client accounts
  • Opportunities for professional growth and progression
  • A collaborative and supportive team environment
