Based in our Birmingham or Leeds office, the Senior Surveyor / Associate Director will play a key leadership role within our specialist property consultancy team, delivering expert landlord and tenant advice across a diverse commercial property portfolio. The role involves acting for landlords, tenants, investors, and occupiers on a range of professional surveying matters, including rent reviews, lease renewals, lease restructuring and strategic asset management advice. Successful candidates will combine strong technical expertise with commercial awareness and excellent client‑relationship skills. Sector‑specific experience is advantageous, although guidance and support will be provided.
