Job Title: Residential Building Surveyor — Junior and Senior Opportunities
Location: Hertford, SG14 (Hybrid)
Salary: £40,000 to £60,000 plus depending on experience, plus £3,500 car allowance and fuel card
A well established and reputable firm of Chartered Surveyors is looking for two Residential Building Surveyors to join their growing team — one at junior level and one at senior level. The business has built a strong reputation for delivering high quality, client focused surveying services across London and the surrounding counties, and these are genuine opportunities to join a professional, supportive team with real flexibility built into the working model.
The Role
The role is hybrid. Survey work is carried out on site across London and the surrounding counties, with report writing and administration completed from home. Surveyors come into the Hertfordshire office around once a week to maintain face to face contact with the team.

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.
