Head of Building Surveying

A leading national property consultancy is seeking an experienced Head of Building Surveying to take ownership of a well established and successful service line within their Cambridge office. This is a senior leadership opportunity offering genuine scope to shape, grow and influence an already high performing team.

The wider business is a respected multidisciplinary consultancy with a strong national presence across multiple property service lines and sectors. It is well regarded for its collaborative culture, quality of service and ability to deliver complex instructions across both professional and project disciplines.

The Cambridge Building Surveying team currently consists of four professionals. It is a close knit and capable group with strong foundations already in place, alongside clear and supported plans for expansion. The incoming leader will play a pivotal role in driving this next stage of growth.

• Lead and develop an established Building Surveying team in Cambridge
• Take ownership of the strategic direction and growth of the service line
• Build on existing client relationships while actively generating new business
• Play a central role within a nationally connected consultancy structure
• Influence team culture, performance and long term regional success

The role requires someone who is commercially minded, confident in a client facing environment and motivated by building and developing a successful team.

The role offers a broad and balanced workload, including both professional and project based instructions.

• Dilapidations
• Technical Due Diligence (TDD)
• Contract Administration
• Planned Maintenance programmes
• Reinstatement Cost Assessments
• Wider general building surveying consultancy work

Candidates should be comfortable operating across a varied workload and demonstrate a strong track record in delivering multiple service lines rather than a narrow specialism.

• MRICS qualification (essential)
• Significant consultancy experience within Building Surveying
• Experience operating at Director level, or Senior Associate level ready to step up
• A proven ability to win work and develop client relationships directly
• Strong networking capability and commercial awareness
• Experience in mentoring and developing junior staff, including APC support
• A leadership mindset with ambition to grow and develop a team

This position would suit either an established Director seeking greater autonomy and influence, or a high performing Senior Associate who has reached a ceiling in their current environment and is ready for progression.

• Salary up to £110k depending on experience

Market leading benefits package including:

• Enhanced annual leave
• Private medical insurance
• Enhanced pension contribution
• Performance related bonus linked to individual, team and company success

This is a senior and strategically important appointment within a growing regional team. It offers the opportunity to take full ownership of a well established service line, with clear backing to expand and develop both the team and client base further.

The role would suit a driven, commercially focused Building Surveying leader looking for a platform with both autonomy and long term growth potential within a highly respected national consultancy.
