Assistant Building Surveyor London | £35,000 – £42,000 + benefits

An excellent opportunity for an experienced Graduate Building Surveyor to join a growing, multidisciplinary building consultancy in central London.

This role is suited to someone who has gained some practical experience since graduating and is now looking for a clear route towards becoming a Chartered Building Surveyor.

You will work alongside experienced Chartered Surveyors on a varied portfolio of projects across commercial, residential and mixed-use property. The work covers building surveys, dilapidations, defect diagnosis, contract administration, planned maintenance, major works and project management.

The role offers genuine exposure to the wider building surveying lifecycle, rather than being restricted to one area of consultancy.

The Role

  • Undertaking building surveys and inspections across commercial and residential properties

  • Assisting with technical reports, schedules and specifications

  • Supporting dilapidations, defect diagnosis and planned maintenance work

  • Assisting with contract administration and major works projects

  • Supporting senior surveyors with client instructions and project delivery

  • Developing relationships with clients, contractors and other professional consultants

  • Taking increasing responsibility as your technical experience develops

  • Working towards your RICS APC with structured support from experienced Chartered Surveyors

About the Consultancy

You will be joining an established, growing consultancy with a strong technical focus and a director-led structure.

The business works across the full property lifecycle, from acquisition and building surveys through to refurbishment, major works, compliance and long-term asset management. Its multidisciplinary team includes building surveyors, engineers, designers and building safety specialists, giving you the opportunity to work alongside different technical disciplines and broaden your understanding of the built environment.

The London team works from a central London office and has experience across a wide range of commercial and residential assets, including complex major works and remediation projects.

What They’re Looking For

  • Degree qualified in Building Surveying or a closely related RICS-accredited discipline

  • Some relevant post-graduate Building Surveying experience

  • Working towards the RICS APC, or committed to starting the process

  • Good technical understanding of building construction and pathology

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills

  • Commercial awareness and a genuine interest in consultancy

  • Ambition to develop into a well-rounded Chartered Building Surveyor

What You Can Expect

  • £35,000 – £42,000 salary, depending on experience

  • Strong APC and professional development support

  • Regular CPD and structured learning opportunities

  • Mentoring from experienced Chartered Surveyors

  • Exposure to a broad range of Building Surveying services and projects

  • Flexible and hybrid working

  • Professional subscriptions

  • Bonus and profit-sharing opportunities

  • Central London office

  • Increasing responsibility as your career develops

This is a particularly good opportunity for a Graduate Building Surveyor who has already gained some consultancy experience and wants to accelerate their development towards Chartership.
