Property Management Surveyor
Milton Keynes – travel to sites nationwide
Permanent
£50,000–£60,000 DOE
We are partnering with one of the UK’s most respected regional management companies to appoint a technically minded Property Manager with strong surveying knowledge.
This is a career-defining opportunity to take charge of a diverse, multi-client commercial portfolio -from industrial and office assets to neighbourhood retail. You will combine hands-on building knowledge with strategic insight to ensure every property is compliant, efficient, and performing at its best.
As part of a high-performing Property & Asset Management team, you’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with surveyors and asset managers, turning technical understanding into tangible results. This role is ideal for someone who loves being out on-site, solving problems, and getting under the skin of how buildings really work.
Key responsibilities:
* Conduct regular site inspections to assess condition, maintenance, and statutory compliance (H&S, Fire, Asbestos, etc.).
* Collaborate with surveyors and consultants to plan, procure, and oversee maintenance and capital works.
* Manage daily operations across a mixed commercial portfolio, driving compliance, cost efficiency, and tenant satisfaction.
* Prepare and manage service charge budgets - ensuring transparency and value.
* Build trusted tenant relationships and handle lease compliance and operational queries.
* Support clients with asset enhancement projects - from refurbishments to lease events.
* Deliver clear, data-backed portfolio reporting on performance and opportunities to add value.
What you will bring:
* Proven experience in commercial property or estate management, ideally with a surveying or technical focus.
* Solid grasp of building pathology, maintenance planning, and statutory compliance.
* Strong understanding of service charges, landlord & tenant law, and property finance.
* Organised, methodical, and confident juggling multiple sites and stakeholders.
* A proactive, solution-focused communicator and negotiator.
* MRICS-qualified (or working towards) - desirable, not essential.
Why this role?
* Variety: Manage a broad range of assets - no two days or clients are the same.
* Autonomy: Take real ownership of your portfolio, backed by an expert technical team.
* Impact: See your surveying expertise directly influence asset performance and client satisfaction.
* Progression: Join a consultancy that invests in its people, offering support and clear career development.
If you’re ready to blend property management with practical building know-how, this is your chance to make a real impact!
