At Berrys, we're all about land and property. Working from four offices across the Midlands, we offer an array of services - planning, architecture, building surveying, valuation, and business consultancy - to help our clients make the most of their assets.
You will be part of a multi-disciplinary team of planners, surveyors, archaeologists, engineers, and architects based in the Shrewsbury office. Our firm is large enough to provide a varied range of work and opportunities but small enough to offer autonomy and a close-knit environment, allowing you to expand your skills and build new connections.
Our projects range from applications and appeals to site promotions, including sustainable urban extensions, solar farms, historic barn conversions, and extensions to listed buildings. You will have the opportunity to manage your own caseload, develop a client base, and specialize in areas of interest.
