Senior Building Surveyor

Cardiff | Hybrid Working | Up to £65,000 + Excellent Benefits

Looking for more than just another surveying role?

Perhaps you're enjoying the technical side of Building Surveying but want greater autonomy. Maybe you're ready to take the lead on larger, more complex projects, mentor junior colleagues or work for a consultancy that genuinely supports career progression.

If that sounds familiar, this opportunity could be exactly what you're looking for.

A well-established property and construction consultancy is continuing to invest in its South Wales team and is looking to appoint a Senior Building Surveyor to help drive the delivery of an exciting and varied portfolio of work.

Working from the Cardiff office with the flexibility of hybrid working, you'll have the opportunity to shape projects, build long-term client relationships and become a trusted member of a growing team.

The opportunity

This isn't a role where you'll be pigeonholed into one service line.

Instead, you'll enjoy a diverse workload across both professional and project-based Building Surveying, working with clients across sectors including commercial property, education, defence, emergency services and residential portfolios.

Projects range from condition surveys and planned maintenance programmes through to major refurbishment and capital improvement schemes worth several million pounds.

You'll have the freedom to manage your own projects while collaborating with colleagues from across the business to deliver high-quality outcomes for clients.

What your role will involve as the Senior Building Surveyor

You'll be trusted to lead projects from inception through to completion, acting as both a technical expert and client advisor.

Your Work Will Include

• Delivering condition surveys, defect investigations and technical due diligence.
• Preparing specifications, schedules of work and tender documentation.
• Managing refurbishment, repair and improvement projects.
• Acting as Contract Administrator and Employer's Agent where required.
• Providing strategic property advice to a diverse client base.
• Developing and maintaining strong client relationships that lead to repeat business.
• Supporting and mentoring junior surveyors, helping them develop their technical and professional skills.
• Working closely with multidisciplinary teams to ensure projects are delivered safely on time and within budget.

About You

You'll be an experienced Building Surveyor who enjoys balancing technical delivery with client-facing responsibilities.

Ideally, You'll Have

• A degree in Building Surveying or another RICS-accredited discipline.
• MRICS status or be progressing towards chartership.
• Consultancy, property, construction or estates experience.
• Strong knowledge of both professional Building Surveying services and project delivery.
• Contract administration experience.
• Excellent communication and report-writing skills.
• Commercial awareness and the confidence to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• A positive, collaborative approach and an interest in helping develop less experienced team members.

Why make the move?

This consultancy has built a reputation not only for delivering exceptional projects but also for creating an environment where people can build long-term careers.

In Return, You'll Receive

• A salary of up to £65,000, depending on experience.
• Hybrid and flexible working to support a healthy work-life balance.
• A comprehensive benefits package.
• Exposure to a varied and high-quality project portfolio.
• A supportive, collaborative culture where your contribution is recognised and valued.
