Director - Building Surveying (Public Sector)
Build a Public Sector Division. Own It. Lead It.
Location: UK (national platform, North base)
Package: Six-figure base + 20% bonus
Are you a Director-level Building Surveyor who's frustrated by red tape, slow decisions, or being told “that's how we've always done it”?
This role is for someone who wants real control, not just a title.
The Opportunity
I've been referred by a long-standing industry contact to represent a well-established national building consultancy that's ready to seriously enter the public sector market – but they want the right person to lead it. You'll be joining a business with:
* 6 offices across the UK
* A strong, profitable private-sector platform
* 20+ Building Surveyors already in the business
* Full back-office, brand, and operational support
What's missing is public sector leadership – and that's the gap you'll fill.
The Role
This is a chance to build your own public sector business within an established firm. You will:
* Take full ownership of public sector strategy and delivery
* Bring your existing public sector clients, frameworks, or relationships
* Design and implement your own processes, systems, and ways of working
* Be the face of the business in the public sector
* Build and scale a team around you as workload grows
* No micromanagement. No legacy systems you're forced to follow.
You'll be trusted to run this like it's your own business, with the backing of a national consultancy.
Who This Suits
* Chartered Building Surveyor (MRICS or equivalent)
* Currently at Director / Associate Director level
* Strong background in public sector work (PFI, education, healthcare, local authority, NHS, frameworks)
* Proven ability to win work and carry client relationships
* Entrepreneurial, commercially minded, and comfortable with responsibility
If you've ever thought “I could build this better myself” – this role is probably for you.
Package
* Six-figure base salary
* 20% bonus on salary
* Clear long-term opportunity to grow something meaningful inside a supportive platform
* Equity pathways
