Janus Conservation is growing, and we’re looking for a Graduate Conservation Surveyor to join our team.
This is a rare opportunity to enter the heritage sector through a genuinely multidisciplinary route. You’ll work across building surveying, heritage consultancy, and project delivery—gaining experience in every part of the conservation process, not just one silo.
We’re a small, agile practice working on listed and historic buildings, from major repair projects to detailed condition surveys and heritage advice. You’ll be supported throughout a structured training pathway designed to accelerate your development.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll rotate across all three core areas of the practice, developing into a well-rounded conservation professional:
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.
- Building Surveys: Assisting with measured surveys, reports, defect diagnosis, and conservation-led recommendations.
- Heritage Consultancy: Supporting heritage statements, heritage impact assessments, planning applications, and Listed Building Consent (LBC) submissions.
- Project Delivery: Assisting with specifications, contract administration, site inspections, and project coordination.
You’ll work directly under our delivery leads, gaining hands-on experience and learning how conservation decisions are made in practice.
What we’re looking for:
- A RICS-accredited degree or a RICS- and IHBC-accredited degree.
- A full UK driving licence and access to a car.
- A genuine interest in historic buildings and how they’re repaired, managed, and protected.
- Strong written communication skills.
- Curiosity, initiative, and a willingness to get involved.
- Someone who enjoys problem-solving and wants to grow quickly.
What we offer:
- Entry onto the Janus Conservation Graduate Training Scheme, supporting you towards both RICS and IHBC qualification.
- A structured development plan with clear milestones.
- Weekly mentoring and direct support from senior conservation professionals.
