The Opportunity
Join a boutique consultancy offering a blend of embedded client-side estate work and traditional building surveying. You’ll gain direct client exposure, responsibility for your own projects and a broad range of experience within a respected practice.
The opportunity is open to candidates from Assistant through to Senior Surveyor level, with responsibilities tailored to your experience. You could be developing your skills and working towards chartership, or already qualified and looking for a varied role with greater project ownership.
About the Role

It’s an opportunity to understand a property portfolio in depth while continuing to build the technical breadth that comes from consultancy work.
