Senior / Associate Building Surveyor – Hybrid, Varied Workload
I’m working with a well-established, multi-disciplinary consultancy to appoint a Senior or Associate Building Surveyor into its Building Surveying team in Orpington. They offer very flexible working patterns with a minimum requirement of only 1 day in the office in Orpington, meaning candidates living a little further afield could consider this.

You’ll be joining a collaborative, technically strong team with a consistent pipeline of secured work and a reputation for quality delivery.

* Support and mentor junior members of the team
You’ll play an active role in maintaining quality, consistency, and professionalism across project delivery.
