Job Description

Senior / Associate Building Surveyor Hybrid, Varied Workload

I m working with a well-established, multi-disciplinary consultancy to appoint a Senior or Associate Building Surveyor into its Building Surveying team in Orpington. They offer very flexible working patterns with a minimum requirement of only 1 day in the office in Orpington, meaning candidates living a little further afield could consider this.

This is a role for someone who wants to step into a more influential position- leading projects, supporting team development, and working within a business that delivers meaningful work across both the public and commercial sectors.

You ll be joining a collaborative, technically strong team with a consistent pipeline of secured work and a reputation for quality delivery.

The Role

You ll take a senior role within the Building Surveying team, leading on a range of project and professional instructions, often of a complex nature.

• Provide technical advice on defects, condition, and Party Wall matters
• Deliver pre-contract services including procurement advice and project setup
• Produce high-quality reports, specifications, and contract documentation
• Administer JCT contracts across a range of schemes
• Undertake site inspections, managing risk, compliance, and health & safety
• Build strong client relationships and maintain high standards of service delivery
• Support and mentor junior members of the team

You ll play an active role in maintaining quality, consistency, and professionalism across project delivery.

About You

You ll be a capable and motivated Building Surveyor who is comfortable taking ownership of projects and working closely with clients.

You ll likely have:

• MRICS qualified, or working towards chartership
• A degree in Building Surveying or a related discipline
• Experience delivering projects across the full lifecycle
• Strong understanding of JCT contracts and contract administration
• Good technical knowledge including defects and Party Wall matters
• Strong communication and report writing skills
• Ability to manage your own workload and contribute to team delivery
• Full UK driving licence

Why This Role

• Varied and technically strong workload across public and commercial sector projects
• Opportunity to lead projects and contribute to team delivery
• Supportive, collaborative working environment
• Clear progression within a structured and established business
• Hybrid working with a balanced approach to office, site and home working
• 35-hour working week
• Competitive salary and benefits including 25 days leave, private healthcare and professional fees
