Building Surveyor
Bristol
Leading National Property Consultancy - Up to £50,000 + Excellent Benefits
Looking to build your career with one of the UK's most respected property consultancies? This is an outstanding opportunity for a Graduate or Junior Building Surveyor with commercial experience or an experienced graduate working towards APC to join a highly regarded multidisciplinary consultancy in Bristol.
Working alongside an experienced team of surveyors, you'll gain exposure to an exceptional range of commercial, residential, rural and public sector projects, developing into a well-rounded Building Surveyor while working with some of the industry's most respected professionals. If you're looking for genuine career development rather than simply your next job, this is a fantastic opportunity to join a business that is committed to investing in its people.
The Opportunity
You'll join an established Building Consultancy team of eight, forming part of a wider 27-person commercial property office in Bristol. Working closely with experienced Associates and Partners, you'll receive the support, mentoring and technical exposure needed to accelerate your professional development and progress towards Chartership.
The team works across a diverse portfolio of clients, including blue-chip organisations, private investors, public sector bodies and rural estates, meaning you'll enjoy a varied workload that will continually broaden your technical knowledge and commercial understanding.
