Head of Building Consultancy | Senior Leadership Appointment

An exceptional opportunity has arisen for an established Building Consultancy leader to take on a highly influential role within a major, well-capitalised real estate advisory business.

This is not simply a role managing an existing team. The successful individual will have the mandate to shape the future direction of the UK Building Consultancy offering, accelerate growth, strengthen key client relationships and build a market-leading platform.

For an ambitious senior Building Surveyor or Building Consultancy leader, this represents an opportunity to combine strategic leadership, commercial ownership, client development and genuine influence at executive level.

The Opportunity

Reporting into senior leadership, you will take responsibility for the UK Building Consultancy business, with ownership of its strategy, commercial performance, people and continued growth. You will play a prominent role within the wider UK business, helping to determine strategic priorities while positioning Building Consultancy as a core growth area.

A major focus will be on developing existing relationships with institutional investors, property companies and major corporate clients, while opening new doors and securing significant new mandates.

The platform provides considerable scope to grow revenues through both standalone Building Consultancy instructions and collaboration with complementary real estate disciplines. This role would particularly suit someone who enjoys building businesses rather than simply managing them.

Key Responsibilities

You will have significant autonomy and accountability, including:

• Leading the strategy and long-term business plan for the UK Building Consultancy division.
• Taking full ownership of the business line P&L, revenue growth, profitability, budgeting and forecasting.
• Developing a compelling growth strategy focused on both existing clients and new client acquisition.
• Building senior relationships with major investors, property owners, developers and corporate occupiers.
• Winning significant one-off instructions while developing longer-term relationships capable of generating repeat revenue.
• Expanding the client base and increasing the proportion of recurring and strategic client work.
• Identifying opportunities to cross-sell Building Consultancy alongside other property and advisory services.
• Positioning the team as a preferred adviser to key clients.
• Maintaining visibility over the pipeline of current and prospective instructions and driving opportunities through to conversion.
• Raising the external profile of the Building Consultancy business across the property industry.
• Acting as a senior market ambassador through industry events, thought leadership, media and professional networks.
• Ensuring clients consistently receive high-quality, commercially focused and timely advice.
