Associate Building Surveyor

Location: Bristol

Working: Hybrid

Salary: £65,000.00

Experience: 5+ years PQE

Panoramic Associates is partnering with a well-established South West-based property consultancy that is looking to appoint an experienced Chartered Building Surveyor at Associate level.

This is a role for someone who is comfortable taking responsibility for their own projects, dealing directly with clients and providing advice that goes beyond simply identifying a problem.

The consultancy works across a varied portfolio, so you'll have the opportunity to get involved in everything from condition and pre-acquisition surveys through to complex defects, refurbishment, dilapidations, and major maintenance projects.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

• Manage a varied portfolio of building surveying instructions, taking projects from the initial assessment through to completion.
• Your work will include condition and pre-acquisition surveys, technical due diligence, planned maintenance, defect diagnosis, dilapidations, and reinstatement cost assessments.
• Prepare reports, specifications, schedules of work, and contract documentation for refurbishment, repair, and improvement projects.
• Take responsibility for project delivery, including budgets, procurement, contract administration, contractor management, and, where required, acting as Employer's Agent.
• Clients will look to you for practical advice on building defects, maintenance strategies, refurbishment, acquisitions, lease obligations, and neighbourly matters.
• You'll also have the opportunity to undertake Party Wall work and act as a CDM Principal Designer or Advisor, ensuring projects meet the relevant health and safety, Building Regulations, and professional standards.
• The role has a strong client-facing element. You'll work directly with clients, consultants, contractors, local authorities, and statutory bodies, building relationships and making sure projects are delivered professionally and commercially.
• You'll also have responsibility for supporting the development of more junior members of the team, providing technical guidance, and sharing your experience with graduate and assistant surveyors.
• Alongside project delivery, you'll contribute to the wider growth of the consultancy through client relationships, fee proposals, tender submissions, and identifying opportunities for repeat and additional work.
• Rather than being restricted to one type of survey or project, you'll have the opportunity to work across a broad range of building consultancy instructions while developing your client relationships and taking greater ownership of the service.
