Project Monitoring Surveyor
Level
Associate Director (Senior candidates ready to step up will be considered; Director-level appointments may also be considered with scope and remuneration aligned accordingly)
Location
Bristol or anywhere in the South West (fully remote, home-based)
The Opportunity
A specialist project monitoring consultancy operating at the top end of the development finance market is expanding its senior capability across the South West.
The region includes a concentration of high-value, lender-funded developments, many of which are long-term, multi-phase schemes with extended delivery horizons. Reporting quality, professional judgement and credibility with funders sit at the core of these instructions, which are typically strategic in nature rather than transactional.
This role is intended for an experienced Project Monitoring Surveyor seeking autonomy, regional ownership and deeper involvement in lender-led decision making. It will suit those already operating at this level, as well as senior surveyors with the technical strength and ambition to step into a broader Associate Director remit.
The Role
You will act as Project Monitor on lender-funded developments across the South West from initial due diligence through delivery, providing clear, commercially grounded advice to lenders and project teams.
This is a judgement-led position. You’ll be expected to interrogate proposals, assess and articulate risk, and support lender confidence throughout the lifecycle of each scheme. The wider senior team provides depth of experience and support, allowing you to operate independently while continuing to broaden exposure to complex projects.
Key Responsibilities
Acting as Project Monitor on lender-funded developments across the South West
Producing robust, lender-facing monitoring reports used to inform credit and risk decisions
Advising on development risk, cost, programme, procurement strategy and delivery approach
Engaging directly with lenders, developers, funders and professional teams
Monitoring compliance with funding conditions and professional appointments
Providing informed input on EPC considerations, Building Safety Act requirements and construction risk
Managing a live portfolio of projects, including long-term and multi-phase schemes
Applying professional judgement rather than operating within a checklist-led or process-driven framework
Candidate Profile
Proven experience as a Project Monitoring Surveyor within development finance
Background from a recognised project monitoring or building consultancy
Comfortable operating on mid-to-large scale developments and complex funding structures
Strong report writing skills with a clear, lender-focused style
Commercial mindset with the confidence to challenge assumptions and advise senior stakeholders
Ability to work autonomously in a fully remote, regionally focused role
Senior candidates ready to step into an Associate Director-level position will be considered
Director-level candidates may also be considered where experience and capability support a broader remit
MRICS preferred

Ways of Working
This is a fully remote, home-based role. Day-to-day work is focused on site inspections across the South West and report production from home. Occasional travel for team meetings is required, but there is no expectation of regular office attendance. The working model is built on trust, experience and accountability rather than presenteeism.
