The Role
We are looking for a talented and skilled Chartered senior/ associate level surveyor professional to work across both the advisory and consultant side, and the more project driven parts of our business. There is likely to be a project bias with the expectation that the candidate will be responsible for a number of projects, acting either as the contract administrator or as a lead consultant / project manager. The consultant and advisory work will include core building surveying functions such as defects diagnosis, planned maintenance programming, landlord and tenant matters, reinstatement cost assessments, party wall and general advice.
The projects are likely to range in value from circa £500K up to circa £15m. Typical projects include exterior renovation contracts, internal common parts and design work, private refurbishment projects and major façade remediation schemes.
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.
Knowledge and experience of the JCT suite of contracts is an absolute must. Knowledge of other contracts, such as NEC, would be helpful, and experience in a range of procurement routes and forms of contract is expected. The ability to lead a project team effectively is also a prerequisite.
The candidate will be self-motivated, efficient and organised in equal measure, and an all-round high achiever. Opportunities will exist for the successful candidate’s progression as the company continues to grow, subject to performance and contribution.
Location
The successful candidate will operate out of our London office.
