Are you a Building Surveyor with project experience looking to run your own schemes from inception through to completion?
Do you enjoy working independently while still having support when needed?
Are you motivated by growth and the opportunity to become a key figure within a developing business?
This expanding construction consultancy specialises in condition surveys, CIF and SCA projects across the education sector, with ambitions to increase capacity ahead of upcoming work and to branch further into commercial work. With a strong pipeline of SCA works and multi-academy trust projects, they are now looking to appoint a Building Surveyor who can take ownership of projects and grow with the company.
