Senior Building Surveyor

Build more than projects — help shape communities.

An established, values-led multi-disciplinary property and construction consultancy is seeking a Senior Building Surveyor to join its growing team in Billericay. With a heritage spanning several decades and a national footprint across the UK, this practice is known for delivering practical, intelligent, and sustainable design solutions that genuinely improve the places people live and work.
This is an opportunity to step into a senior, influential role within a consultancy that combines the stability of a long-established firm with the energy and ambition of a modern, people-focused business.

Why This Consultancy?

Teams work across commercial, education, defence, residential, healthcare, and public sector projects, offering a rare level of integrated design and technical expertise typically found only in much larger organisations.
The culture is best described as high-performing but human: people work hard, support one another, and genuinely enjoy being part of the team. Professional excellence sits alongside social connection, flexibility, and wellbeing.

The organisation continues to grow, with further UK offices planned as part of its long-term national strategy.
