We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Level Chartered Building Surveyor to join our established Technical Due Diligence & Building Surveying team.
The core responsibilities will largely relate to transactional-based instructions across the UK with the opportunity to assist on pan-European projects also.

This position carries a high level of responsibility and accountability, offering opportunities to develop managerial and technical skills and to progress within a growing specialist team.
You will manage and undertake professional technical consultancy commissions, including TDD, condition surveys, dilapidations, and other projects.
Effective communication is essential to ensure all information is available for successful project completion. Collaboration with Project Managers and Team Leaders is necessary for efficient financial control and cost-effective service delivery.
