A client of mine, a leading Building Surveying consultancy recognised for their technical depth and progressive approach across the industry, is keen to speak with an experienced Senior Associate Building Surveyor to join their Oxford office. This is a pivotal role offering the successful Building Surveyor the chance to lead high-value commissions, shape the strategic direction of the team, and play a key part in the continued growth of a thriving multidisciplinary environment.
