Building Surveyor – Brentwood
High-End Residential Projects | £50k–£70k + Benefits
A well-established Building Consultancy based in Brentwood is looking to appoint a Building Surveyor to join their growing team. This is a project-focused role working primarily on high-end residential properties in central London locations such as Holland Park, South Kensington, and Mayfair.

The successful candidate will typically be on site 1–2 days per week, with the remainder spent working from Brentwood office / hybrid.
