This is an opportunity to join a specialist Asset Management team supporting a major UK Government estate. As Senior Surveyor, you will play a key role in delivering high-quality asset verification and condition surveying services across a large and diverse portfolio, with a particular focus on Mechanical & Electrical (M&E) assets and building services systems.

You will ensure asset data is accurate, consistent, and structured to support robust cost modelling, lifecycle planning and investment decision-making. The role combines hands‑on surveying delivery with technical leadership, quality assurance, and the development of standardised lifecycle and cost frameworks aligned to ISO 55000 principles and client requirements.

The successful candidate will have a strong M&E asset management or building services background, with experience assessing the condition, performance and lifecycle requirements of critical building systems across complex estates.

• Lead and deliver asset verification and condition surveys across building fabric and M&E systems.
• Undertake detailed assessments of M&E assets including HVAC, electrical distribution, lighting, fire systems, BMS, lifts, public health systems and associated plant.
• Validate, correct, and enhance existing asset data, identifying gaps and inconsistencies.
• Ensure surveys are delivered safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to operations.
• Apply consistent condition grading, risk assessment, and renewal assumptions.
• Provide technical advice on asset condition, remaining life, risk and replacement priorities.

• Develop and maintain standardised cost books aligned to asset types, specifications and M&E systems.
• Produce medium and long term lifecycle plans and renewal forecasts.
• Translate verified asset data into forward maintenance and investment planning outputs.
• Create and maintain Forward Maintenance Registers using CAFM and lifecycle data.
• Support the development of lifecycle strategies for M&E assets and associated building services.

• Act as technical lead for surveying methodology, M&E asset assessment standards and best practice.
• Review and assure quality of survey outputs, cost models and lifecycle plans.
• Drive continuous improvement in surveying processes, tools and data standards.
• Ensure consistent application of asset management principles across survey programmes.

• Work closely with the Technical & Asset Manager and wider contract teams.
• Present findings, lifecycle assessments and investment recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Build strong relationships across internal and external stakeholders.
• Provide clear advice on M&E asset condition, compliance, risk and lifecycle liability.

• Support planning and coordination of surveying programmes across the estate.
• Collaborate with survey and delivery teams to ensure consistent output quality.
• Contribute to professional communities of practice and service innovation.

• Degree, HND or equivalent in Building Surveying, Building Services Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
• Professional membership (RICS, CIOB, CIBSE, IAM) or working towards chartership.

• Proven experience in asset verification and condition surveying, with a strong focus on M&E assets.
• Strong background in lifecycle planning, renewal modelling and cost forecasting.
• Practical knowledge of M&E building services systems, including HVAC, electrical infrastructure, fire systems, BMS and associated plant.
• Experience working across large, complex or operational estates is desirable.
• Experience using CAFM and asset management systems to manage asset data and lifecycle information.
