Building Surveyor

Building Surveyor - Commercial Property Portfolio

Own the projects. Shape the portfolio. Make your mark.

We're looking for a Building Surveyor who wants more than a seat at the table - someone ready to take real ownership of a commercial property portfolio, lead projects from concept to completion, and be the technical authority that consultants and contractors are held to.

This isn't a back-office surveying role. You'll be out front: diagnosing defects, driving procurement, managing budgets and programmes, and making the calls that protect asset value and deliver real commercial results. If you're motivated by high-quality work that has a tangible, visible impact - and you have the confidence to challenge and be challenged - this is your next move.

• Leading refurbishment, repair and development projects across the portfolio, from inception through to handover
• Managing project budgets, cashflows and programmes to keep delivery on track and on plan
• Running tight contract administration - instructions, variations, approvals, certificates and records
• Preparing tender and contract documentation and overseeing procurement
• Ensuring statutory compliance across planning, Building Control, CDM and Party Wall matters
• Providing technical and commercial advice on defects, refurbishment strategy and asset decisions
• Appointing and leading consultants, contractors and design teams - and holding them to account
• Managing Party Wall processes and dilapidations negotiations
• Partnering with Facilities Management and Asset Managers to keep spend controlled and value-led

• Strong building surveying experience within commercial property
• A track record of delivering projects, administering contracts and controlling cost
• Solid technical knowledge of construction, refurbishment and defect diagnosis
• Working knowledge of CDM, Building Control, planning and Party Wall requirements
• The confidence to manage - and challenge - consultants and contractors
• Sharp documentation discipline and the ability to juggle multiple projects without losing sight of detail

You'll join a team that values ownership over box-ticking, pace over process for its own sense, and clear, direct communication. You'll have real autonomy on your projects, genuine influence over asset outcomes, and the backing to hold everyone - including yourself - to a high standard.

If you want a role where your judgement counts and your work is visible, we'd love to hear from you.
