Director (Building Surveying)

Head of Private Clients & Estates

Build a legacy-level service from London

This is a rare, confidential Director-level opportunity for a senior Building Surveyor who wants real influence. Not a seat to fill. A platform to build.

You will be trusted to create and lead a Private Clients and Estates offering from London, shaping strategy, relationships and team culture from day one. The focus is HNW and UHNW clients, prime and super-prime homes, heritage assets and landed estates across the UK and Ireland.

The business is entrepreneurial, well backed and deliberately human in how it operates. High trust. Low ego. Serious ambition.

What you will lead

• Owning and growing the Private Clients and Estates service line from London

• Acting as the senior figurehead for UHNW and high-profile clients

• Delivering and overseeing high-value residential, estate and heritage work

• Building deep relationships with family offices, estate managers and advisors

• Leading, mentoring and scaling a specialist team

• Representing the firm in discreet, high-trust environments

What we are looking for

• MRICS or FRICS Building Surveyor at Director or Partner level, or Associate ready for that step

• Proven experience with HNW or UHNW residential, estates or complex refurbishments

• Strong track record of winning and retaining relationship-led work

• Confident leader with presence, polish and sound judgement

• Comfortable operating with discretion in high-profile client settings

What you get

• Up to competitive six-figure base salary

• High bonus potential linked to performance and growth

• Pension and car scheme

• Equity potential at Director level

• Autonomy to shape strategy, hiring and incentives

• A credible platform with national capability and strong client flow

Why this role will excite you

• You will build something meaningful, not inherit limitations

• Your reputation and relationships will genuinely matter

• You will influence direction, not just delivery

• You will work with senior leaders who trust and back you

If you are ready to step into a defining leadership role with freedom, backing and long-term upside, this is worth a confidential conversation.
