Building Surveyor – Liverpool (1–2 Years’ Experience)
APC Support | Real Responsibility | No Hand-Holding Required
Some Building Surveyor roles promise “variety”, “progression”, and “support”.
Most deliver a pile of admin, a backlog of surveys nobody wants, and a line manager who last did their APC sometime around the Nokia 3210 era.
You’ll be joining a consultancy that’s actually growing — not “restructuring”, not “reviewing the pipeline”, but genuinely busy. They’ve got work across commercial, education, residential and public-sector portfolios, and they’d quite like someone who can get stuck in rather than wait to be told what to do every five minutes.
What You’ll Actually Do
* Surveys that aren’t all identical
* Real defect analysis, not just copy-pasting from last year’s report
* Support on JCT contract admin for refurb and remedial projects
* Writing specifications and technical reports that people will actually read
* Working with Chartered Surveyors who remember what it’s like to be pre-APC — and don’t treat you like a spare part
Why You Might Care
Because this consultancy backs its surveyors.
Proper APC support, real development, and a culture where juniors become seniors because someone invested time in them — not because someone left and they needed a warm body to fill the chair.
You’ll get responsibility early. Not because they’re short-staffed, but because they trust people who show they can handle it.
Who They Want
* 1–2 years in a Building Surveying role
* Someone who can be sent to a site without creating a risk assessment for the journey
* Ambitious enough to want MRICS, grounded enough to know it takes work
* Able to talk to clients without sounding like an instruction manual
What’s In It for You
A solid salary, a team that actually functions, and a pathway that doesn’t require you to wait for someone to retire.
