About the Opportunity
A brilliant opportunity for a Graduate or Assistant Building Surveyor who is looking to build their career within a major multidisciplinary consultancy, with structured APC support, varied project exposure, and clear long-term progression.
This organisation of international acclaim is looking for a Graduate / Assistant Building Surveyor to join their Wales team, working within an established Building Surveying practice that delivers across public sector, private sector, education, defence, central government, and infrastructure clients.
The role would suit someone working towards Chartership who wants broad technical exposure rather than being kept in one narrow lane. You would be supported through a structured APC programme, regular technical training, an assigned Supervisor and Counsellor, and access to industry-leading digital tools and methodologies.
There is a fantastic mix of professional surveying, project work, client exposure, and career development. You would be joining a collaborative, multidisciplinary team with the backing of a global consultancy and the chance to develop properly as your experience grows.
Responsibilities of the Role
This is a varied Building Surveying role with exposure across a number of sectors and project types. Responsibilities are likely to include:
- Undertaking condition surveys, measured surveys, defect diagnosis, and technical due diligence
- Preparing professional reports, schedules of work, specifications, and technical drawings
- Assisting with Project Management and Contract Administration across a range of sectors
- Supporting pre- and post-contract activities under JCT and NEC forms of contract
- Working with multidisciplinary teams on refurbishment, maintenance, and small-to-medium capital projects
- Contributing to sustainability, building safety, and statutory compliance work
- Supporting quality assurance, CPD, knowledge-sharing, and continuous improvement across the team
