Graduate Conservation Surveyor - Janus Conservation
Location: Thame, Oxfordshire (Hybrid)
Start: Summer 2026
Type: Full-time
Salary: Competitive + full professional support
Janus Conservation is growing, and we’re looking for a Graduate Conservation Surveyor to join our team.
This is a rare opportunity to enter the heritage sector through a genuinely multidisciplinary route. You’ll work across building surveying, heritage consultancy, and project delivery - gaining experience in every part of the conservation process, not just one silo.
We’re a small, agile practice working on listed and historic buildings, from major repair projects to detailed condition surveys and heritage advice. You’ll be supported throughout a structured training pathway designed to accelerate your development.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll rotate across all three core areas of the practice, developing into a well-rounded conservation professional:
• Building Surveys: assisting with measured surveys, reports, defect diagnosis, conservation-led recommendations
• Heritage Consultancy: supporting heritage statements, impact assessments, planning and LBC submissions
• Project Delivery: assisting with specifications, contract administration, site inspections, and project coordination
You’ll work directly under our delivery leads, gaining hands-on experience and learning how conservation decisions are made in practice.
What we’re looking for
• A RICS-accredited degree or a RICS- and IHBC-accredited degree
• A full UK driving licence and access to a car
• A genuine interest in historic buildings and how they’re repaired, managed, and protected
• Strong written communication skills
• Curiosity, initiative, and a willingness to get involved
• Someone who enjoys problem-solving and wants to grow quickly
What we offer
• Entry onto the Janus Conservation Graduate Training Scheme, supporting you towards both RICS and IHBC qualification
• A structured development plan with clear milestones
• Weekly mentoring and direct support from senior conservation professionals
• Hands-on project, survey, and heritage experience from day one
• A friendly, highly supportive environment
• The opportunity to work on some of the most important listed buildings in the country
• A clear, long-term career pathway within a growing practice
About Janus
We’re a specialist conservation practice working across the UK. We pride ourselves on being agile, forward-thinking, and process-driven. Our work combines technical building expertise with deep heritage understanding - and we encourage our team to grow across both disciplines.
