Are you an MRICS Chartered Building Surveyor looking for a broader role where you can genuinely own your work, build client relationships and avoid being boxed into one narrow specialism?
n
n
I’m looking to speak with experienced Senior Building Surveyors for a varied commercial building consultancy opportunity in Bristol.

This is a hands-on, client-facing role covering both professional and project services, with plenty of autonomy and the opportunity to take instructions from initial brief through to delivery.

Condition and pre-acquisition surveys

Technical due diligence and defect diagnosis
n
Dilapidations and schedules of condition

What we’re looking for
n
✔️ MRICS Chartered Building Surveyor
n
✔️ Minimum 3 years post-qualification experience
n
✔️ Current commercial building consultancy experience
n
✔️ Strong professional services experience, ideally including surveys, TDD, dilapidations and defects
n
✔️ Project delivery experience across specifications, tendering, procurement and contract administration
n
✔️ Confidence managing clients and contractors directly
n
✔️ Strong technical report writing and commercial judgement
n
✔️ Comfortable managing several instructions independently
n
n
Experience across offices, industrial/logistics, retail, mixed-use, education, healthcare or student accommodation would all be relevant.
n
n
⭐ Particularly attractive backgrounds
n
n
We’re especially interested in surveyors who have developed in small or mid-sized commercial consultancies where they have had genuine ownership of their work.
n
n
If you’re currently in a larger consultancy, that can absolutely work too, provided you can demonstrate broad hands-on experience rather than being limited to one specialist service line.
n
n
🚀 Why consider it?
n
This opportunity would suit someone who wants:
n
A genuinely broad building surveying remit
n
More ownership of client instructions
n
Direct exposure to senior decision-makers
n
A mix of professional and project work
n
The chance to mentor and develop others
n
Greater visibility over your own client relationships and career progression
n
A Bristol-based hybrid working model, with client-site days counting toward office attendance
n
n
You’ll need to be practical for the Bristol office and client sites, with the role operating on a 60% office/site and 40% home basis. A valid UK driving licence is also required.
n
n
If you’re MRICS with 3+ years PQE and want a role where you can combine technical expertise, project delivery and genuine client ownership, I’d love to hear from you.
