LevelAssociate Director (Senior candidates ready to step up will be considered; Director-level appointments may also be considered with scope and remuneration aligned accordingly)

LocationBristol or anywhere in the South West (fully remote, home-based)

The OpportunityA specialist project monitoring consultancy operating at the top end of the development finance market is expanding its senior capability across the South West.

The region includes a concentration of high-value, lender-funded developments, many of which are long-term, multi-phase schemes with extended delivery horizons. Reporting quality, professional judgement and credibility with funders sit at the core of these instructions, which are typically strategic in nature rather than transactional.

This role is intended for an experienced Project Monitoring Surveyor seeking autonomy, regional ownership and deeper involvement in lender-led decision making. It will suit those already operating at this level, as well as senior surveyors with the technical strength and ambition to step into a broader Associate Director remit.

The RoleYou will act as Project Monitor on lender-funded developments across the South West from initial due diligence through delivery, providing clear, commercially grounded advice to lenders and project teams.

This is a judgement-led position. You'll be expected to interrogate proposals, assess and articulate risk, and support lender confidence throughout the lifecycle of each scheme. The wider senior team provides depth of experience and support, allowing you to operate independently while continuing to broaden exposure to complex projects.
