Job Description
Job Title: Senior Building Surveyor
Location: Manchester
Salary: £45,000–£60,000 (dependent on MRICS qualification) + excellent benefits
Exciting opportunity for an MRICS or MCIOB chartered Building Surveyor
The Opportunity
A global consultancy in the built-environment sector is expanding its Manchester team and is seeking a Senior Building Surveyor to support a growing pipeline of work. You’ll deliver a blend of professional and project-based surveying services across education, healthcare and local government properties, all within a culture that genuinely prioritises people, wellbeing and long-term growth.
The team delivers across a wide range of services; design & specification, clerk of works, contract administration, building surveys and dilapidations. Due to a high volume of survey and project work across local government and higher education estates they are expanding !
Working within a supportive environment that empowers people to take ownership and develop their careers, this role suits someone who thrives on responsibility, client interaction and delivering high‑quality work.
What You’ll Do
* Carry out building surveys, inspections, condition assessments and technical reports
* Prepare specifications, design information and contract documentation
* Lead contract administration and monitor construction progress
* Support project delivery from feasibility through to completion
* Build strong client relationships and represent the consultancy professionally
* Share knowledge within the team and support junior colleagues
What You’ll Bring
* Degree in Building Surveying (or equivalent)
* MRICS preferred, MCIOB also considered (or actively working toward chartership).
* Strong technical understanding of building pathology and construction processes
* Clear communication skills and confidence in client-facing environments
* Experience with AutoCAD, NBS and standard industry software beneficial
* A proactive, organised and collaborative approach
Why This Role Stands Out
* Supportive culture where people look out for each other and you’re never just a name on a list
* Tailored development, including chartership support and training that fits your goals
* Real progression opportunities as the business grows, with room to specialise or explore new sectors
* Wellbeing that’s taken seriously, from counselling support to wellness initiatives
* Inclusive environment that values diverse backgrounds, perspectives and lived experiences
* Purpose-driven work with a focus on social value, sustainability and positive community impact
