An established and well-regarded independent property consultancy is looking to appoint a Senior Surveyor or Associate within its Commercial Property Management team in Manchester.
This is an opportunity to join a business with deep regional roots, a loyal and diverse client base, and a culture that values autonomy, collaboration and long-term progression.

* Providing strategic advice to enhance asset performance
Why consider this move?
* Genuine Autonomy – You will be trusted to manage your portfolio with real ownership and client exposure.
* Strong Regional Reputation – Join a consultancy with an established brand and consistent pipeline of quality instructions.
* Career Progression – Clear pathway to Associate or beyond, with visibility and recognition internally.
* Varied Client Base – Exposure to institutional investors, property companies and private clients.
* Collaborative Culture – A close-knit, supportive team environment without the bureaucracy of larger corporates.
* Work-Life Balance – Manchester city centre office with hybrid flexibility.
About You
* MRICS qualified (or working towards qualification)
* Proven experience in commercial property management
* Strong understanding of service charge management and lease advisory matters
* Confident communicator with the ability to manage client relationships independently
* Ambitious and keen to play a visible role within a growing team
