The Role
Cluttons is a multi-faceted property consultancy with specialists in agency, rating, valuations, compulsory purchase, investor services, planning, lease advisory, occupier services, property management, and project and building consultancy. We are an SME organisation with offices in London, Oxford, Reading, Manchester, Newcastle, and Glasgow. Our Oxford office is known for working in niche markets, delivering technically interesting projects, and making a genuine difference - particularly in energy, sustainability, and the built environment.
We are looking for a Building Surveyor to join our growing Energy Consultancy team in Oxford. This role suits a Building Surveyor who is technically strong, increasingly confident managing projects and clients, and ready to take the next step in responsibility while continuing to develop towards Senior level. You will deliver a wide range of professional Building Surveying services alongside specialist work in the energy, utilities, and infrastructure sectors, working closely with engineers, project managers, and CAD technicians.
We are flexible and open to the location of the role, although there will be some UK-wide travel.

- A genuinely supportive and collaborative team culture
- A diverse and inclusive team
- Meaningful work supporting green energy, resilience, and sustainability
- Exposure to niche, technically interesting projects
- An exploratory and innovative approach to problem solving
- Sustainability as a way of life, not a tick-box
Responsibilities
- Deliver traditional professional Building Surveying services including condition surveys, dilapidations, party wall matters, due diligence, and contract administration
- Support delivery of projects in the utilities and energy sectors including solar farms, battery storage, electricity distribution infrastructure, and flood defence schemes
- Manage allocated commissions with support from Senior Surveyors where required
- Act as a key client contact on projects, attending meetings and site visits
- Coordinate inputs from engineers, CAD designers, and external consultants
- Ensure compliance with statutory requirements including Planning, Building Regulations, CDM 2015, and Health & Safety
- Support and mentor graduates and junior surveyors
- Contribute to improving technical standards, templates, and ways of working within the team
