Partner – Lead Building Surveyor
📍 Manchester
🏢 Leading Built Environment Consultancy
An exceptional opportunity has arisen to join one of Manchester’s most well-known and respected consultancies at Partner level, based in the heart of Manchester with a clear progression to salaried partner.
With a strong regional reputation and national reach, this established consultancy is entering a new phase of strategic growth. Recently appointed to the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) Framework, the business has secured a significant pipeline of public sector work - creating the perfect platform for a senior leader ready to build, lead and shape their own team with board-level trust and autonomy.
The Opportunity
This is a true Partner-level role offering:
The autonomy to lead and grow your own team
Full backing from the board to shape strategy aligned to your professional values
Immediate access to an established and active workload
The platform to leverage your own client relationships with reduced riskThe current portfolio spans:
Education (schools, academies, higher education estates)
Retail, including major clients such as B&Q
PFI Healthcare projects across operational and lifecycle programmesWith CCS framework appointment and secured incoming instructions, you will inherit live schemes while being empowered to drive new business growth across the North West and beyond.
Why This Role Stands Out
Run your own profit centre with strategic influence
Mentor and build a high-performing team
Win and deliver work aligned to your expertise
Play a key role in the firm’s wider expansion plansThe business is actively investing in growth across multiple sectors, making this an ideal time to join a consultancy genuinely “on the up”.
What We’re Looking For
Established senior leader at Director or existing Partner level
Strong track record across Education, Retail and/or PFI Healthcare
Commercially astute with business development capability
Ideally bringing an existing client network
Ambition to step into (or continue at) Partner level with equity pathwayPackage & Benefits
6% Employer Pension Contribution
10% Annual Bonus
Private Healthcare (for you and your family)
Clear and direct route to Salaried Partner
Genuine autonomy with board-level supportThe Timing
With secured frameworks, established workload, and ambitious growth plans, this is a rare opportunity to step into a Partner role with both security and scalability.
If you’re ready to build something meaningful - with the safety of a strong pipeline and the freedom to shape your own future - this could be the defining move in your career.
