Joshua Robert is partnering with Godwin Powell to appoint a Senior Building Surveyor. This is a senior appointment for an experienced, RICS-chartered professional to take a leading technical and client-facing role within one of the UK's fastest-growing building consultancy businesses.

Godwin Powell is an established building consultancy with a strong reputation for delivering technically excellent, commercially focused advice to some of the world's leading brands, major institutions and private property owners.

The business has grown into one of the most exciting building surveying organisations in the UK, combining genuine technical expertise with a fresh, forward-thinking commercial approach. It operates across Professional Building Surveying, Project Management, Due Diligence and Design, giving its people the opportunity to work across a genuinely broad range of disciplines, sectors and project types.

With offices in Birmingham and London, Godwin Powell works with some of the biggest and most recognisable organisations in the world. Its project portfolio is highly diverse, spanning major commercial, retail, industrial, leisure and mixed-use assets, as well as complex development, refurbishment and investment projects.

Godwin Powell is in the midst of a period of hyper-growth, driven by an increasingly impressive client base and a growing demand from some of the world's biggest brands to work with us.
