Building Surveyor – Stoke-on-Trent / Cheshire
£45,000 – £65,000 DOE + performance bonus + excellent benefits
Home-based | Monday to Friday
Match Recruitment is working with a long-established UK claims and property consultancy to appoint a Building Surveyor to its regional surveying team. It's a home-based role with a varied caseload, real autonomy and a growing mix of insurance and private client work.
The patch
You'll ideally live in or around Stoke-on-Trent, covering Cheshire and North Staffordshire – north as far as Stockport and south towards the Midlands – with the occasional project in North Wales. There's flexibility on location for the right person.
What you'll be doing
- Managing your own caseload of instructions from insurers, loss adjusters and policyholders
- Carrying out defect diagnosis surveys to establish the cause and extent of damage
- Preparing costed schedules of works
- Running repair projects through to completion under JCT contracts – variations, payments, liquidated damages and key milestones
- Keeping every party informed and working to client service levels and KPIs
- Picking up non-insurance, private client instructions as that side of the business grows
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you'll bring
- A strong building surveying background – insurance claims experience is a bonus, not a requirement
- Sound working knowledge of CDM Regulations and JCT contracts
- AssocRICS, MRICS or MCIOB, or working towards a professional qualification
- Clear, confident communication in writing and in person, with good negotiation and investigation skills
- Strong IT skills and the self-discipline to manage your own diary and work on your own initiative
- Full UK driving licence
