Job Description
Senior Building Surveyor – Client-Side (Central London Portfolio)
Location: London
Salary: £70k-80k + discretionary bonus (up to 20%)
An established London-based property owner and operator is looking to appoint a Senior Building Surveyor to join their in-house team.
This is a high-impact role within a well-capitalised business, offering exposure to a significant pipeline of refurbishment and fit-out projects across a multi-asset portfolio.
The position is heavily delivery-focused, suited to someone who enjoys being on-site and actively involved in projects, rather than sitting behind a desk.
The Role
You will split your time across approximately 70% building surveying (fabric condition, maintenance strategy, technical advice) and 30% project delivery, with a strong emphasis on refurbishment and fit-out works.
Key Responsibilities
* Deliver fabric inspections, defect diagnosis, and technical recommendations across a Central London portfolio
* Lead refurbishment and fit-out projects from inception through to completion
* Manage external consultants and contractors to ensure quality, programme, and cost control
* Work closely with internal stakeholders to prioritise and allocate capital expenditure
* Play an active role in shaping where investment is deployed across the portfolio
* Support and mentor a junior team member transitioning into Building Surveying
The Opportunity
This role offers genuine influence over how capital is deployed, rather than simply delivering pre-defined scopes. You will be part of the decision-making process, helping shape the direction of projects and asset improvement strategies.
It is an ideal move for someone looking to step into a more commercially exposed, client-side position with a strong pipeline of work and visible impact across high-quality London assets.
About You
* Chartered or working towards (MRICS/AssocRICS preferred)
* Strong experience across building surveying and project delivery (refurbishment/fit-out)
* Comfortable managing multiple projects simultaneously
* Proactive, hands-on approach with a preference for being on-site
* Confident communicator, able to engage with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
