Building Surveyor – Brentwood
High-End Residential Projects | £50k–£70k + Benefits
A well-established Building Consultancy based in Brentwood is looking to appoint a Building Surveyor to join their growing team. This is a project-focused role working primarily on high-end residential properties in central London locations such as Holland Park, South Kensington, and Mayfair. While the team is based in Brentwood, whilst this is their preference, they are also open to a hybrid working arrangement for candidates living in London, as most site visits are in the capital.
This is an excellent opportunity for a Building Surveyor seeking exposure to some of the most prestigious and architecturally interesting properties in the city, including heritage and historic buildings. The successful candidate will typically be on site 1–2 days per week, with the remainder spent working from Brentwood office / hybrid.

* Writing specifications
* Contract administration
