A Business at a Turning Point

\n

This independent consultancy has quietly built an outstanding reputation across London and the South East.

\n

Their clients return time and time again. Property managers trust them implicitly. Instructions keep arriving.

\n

Recent projects have included landmark commercial buildings in Central London, alongside a varied portfolio of residential work. Project values of up to £3m, with a healthy mix of professional services and project-led work.

\n


\n

The Missing Piece

\n

The practice is looking for a Chartered Building Surveyor who enjoys variety, acts with urgency and takes pride in delivering a high-quality service.

\n

Someone who doesn't want to spend their career confined to a single service line.

\n

In many businesses, progression is promised. Here, it's part of the business plan.

\n


\n

A Different Kind of Culture

\n

The company has retained the flexibility and trust that often disappears as businesses grow.

\n

Life comes first.

\n

School runs. Family commitments. Appointments. Personal priorities.

\n

They understand people have lives outside work and believe flexibility should actually mean flexibility.

\n


\n

Learning From People Who've Been There

\n

Work in a company offering the exposure that many surveyors never receive within larger corporate structures.

\n


\n

You'll likely be:

\n
    \n
  • MRICS, MCIOB or equivalent
  • \n
  • Experienced across a broad Building Surveying workload
  • \n
  • Comfortable working within both commercial and residential environments
  • \n
  • Client-facing and commercially aware
  • \n
  • Looking for a long-term home rather than another stop on the CV
  • \n
\n


\n

Most importantly, you'll be someone who wants to help build something

\n


\n

The projects are impressive, the clients are established and the flexibility is exceptional...
