MRICS Building Surveyor

Thisis not a Building Surveying role for someone who wants to sit inside a largeteam and simply manage the work they are given. It's for someone who wantsautonomy, commercial ownership and the opportunity to build something.
I'mworking to appoint an MRICS Building Surveyor covering the South West. There isalready a significant volume of work coming through the wider business. Theopportunity is to become the surveyor that internal and external clients trustwith that work, while developing your own relationships and reputation acrossthe region.
Your Opportunity
You'lltake ownership of commercial building surveying projects, typically from around£80,000 into the millions, covering the full journey from initial instructionthrough specification, tender and delivery.
What You'll Take Ownership Of

JCT Contract Administration
Specification Writing
Schedule of Works preparation
Refurbishment and Reinstatement projects
Building Pathology and Defect Diagnosis
Managing contractors and professional teams
Developing strong relationships with key professional stakeholders and clients
Managing multiple live projects across the region
Identifying opportunities to grow relationships and secure further work
Thisis a busy environment. Balancing multiple live instructions, you need to becomfortable making decisions, managing competing priorities and getting thingsmoving without needing someone looking over your shoulder.
Why This Role Stands Out
Ourclient has the infrastructure, client relationships and volume to support you.What they want is someone with the ambition to take advantage of that platformand run their region with the mentality of it being their own business.
You'llhave significant autonomy over how you operate, with very limited requirementto be in an office, while still having the backing of a wider commercialsurveying & design team, with dedicated administrative support.
Thereis genuine scope to develop more traditional private-practice work alongsidethe existing portfolio. Surveyors have already made the transitionsuccessfully, so previous experience in this type of environment isn'tessential.
Who We're Looking For
Youare an MRICS Building Surveyor who is technically strong but wants moreownership than your current position gives you.
Where You Might Be

In private practice and frustrated by limited autonomy or progression
In a larger consultancy and wanting greater ownership of clients and projects
Already working within this world and looking for a bigger platform
Running a small practice and attracted by keeping the autonomy without carrying all the risk yourself
Whateveryour background, you'll need to be strong on JCT Contract Administration andspecification writing, comfortable operating independently and commerciallyminded enough to develop trusted relationships rather than simply deliverinstructions.
Previousrelevant experience, Principal Designer knowledge or an established contractornetwork would all be useful, but they are not prerequisites.
Location & Package
Therole would work particularly well for someone based around Bristol, Cardiff orOxford, with travel across the wider South West and South Coast.

£60,000-£65,000 basic salary
Car allowance that scales
Healthy performance-related bonus
Flexible hybrid working
Thebonus is both meaningful and achievable for surveyors with the right drive andambition.
Interested? Let's Talk
Ifyou are looking for a conventional Building Surveying job with a tightlydefined patch and workload, this probably isn't it.
Ifyou want the backing and workload of a major international business, but theautonomy and commercial ownership you'd normally associate with runningsomething yourself, then get in touch.
NoCV needed initially. I'd rather have a straightforward conversation about whatyou're doing now and where the opportunity sits for you.
