Woodhouse Property Recruitment Limited
West London, ENG, GB Full Time

Job Description

Associate Director Building Surveying Up to £85k DOE + Bonus + Excellent Benefits Package

\n

This role is with an established and highly regarded multidisciplinary property and construction consultancy with an outstanding reputation within the residential sector. The business continues to grow, investing heavily in new service lines, sectors and technical disciplines, creating opportunities that many traditional consultancies simply cannot offer.

\n

With a collaborative, director led culture and a strong emphasis on technical excellence and client relationships, this is a business that actively encourages ambitious surveyors to play a meaningful role in shaping its future direction.

\n

Due to continued growth, they are looking to appoint an Associate Director within their London Building Surveying team.

\n

The Role

\n

You will work across a varied portfolio of projects, predominantly within the residential sector, including:

\n

Private residential developments

\n

High-end residential properties

\n

Listed and heritage buildings

\n

Selected public sector projects

\n

The role offers an excellent mix of traditional building surveying instructions alongside exposure to newer and evolving disciplines.

\n

Your core responsibilities will include:

\n

Contract Administration

\n

Defect diagnosis and reporting

\n

Planned Maintenance programmes

\n

Schedules of Condition

\n

Preparation of specifications and tender documentation

\n

Alongside this, you may also have the opportunity to become involved in:

\n

Reinstatement Cost Assessments

\n

Licence to Alter work

\n

Building Pathology

\n

Building Safety related instructions

\n

Fire Safety projects

\n

Heritage and conservation work

\n

Additional specialist surveying services as the business continues to expand

\n

The variety of work on offer makes this an excellent opportunity for someone looking to broaden their exposure whilst maintaining a strong residential focus.

\n

About You

To be considered, you will ideally have:

\n

Previous experience within a building consultancy environment

\n

A strong background delivering residential building surveying instructions

\n

You will ideally be MRICS qualified. However, candidates who are keen to pursue chartership via the experienced route are also encouraged to apply, with full support and guidance provided throughout the process.

\n

Why Join?

\n

This is a business that offers genuine progression opportunities with a clearly defined route from Associate Director to Director.

\n

Beyond that, for individuals who continue to develop, contribute to growth and help shape the future of the business, there is the potential for equity discussions further down the line something very few consultancies can genuinely offer.

\n

The company is actively expanding its service lines and sector exposure, meaning surveyors with a broader technical background or an interest in diversifying their experience will be of particular interest.

\n

You'll be joining an ambitious, evolving business where your ideas, expertise and commercial input can have a genuine impact on the direction of both the team and wider organisation.

\n
