Senior Chartered Building Surveyor - Client Side

Location: Reading (Hybrid)
Salary: Up to £80,000 + Excellent Benefits

The Opportunity

Carriera is exclusively partnering with a highly respected client-side property organisation to recruit a Senior Chartered Building Surveyor.

This is an excellent opportunity for an MRICS Building Surveyor to join an established business with a diverse commercial and industrial property portfolio, offering genuine autonomy, long-term progression and the opportunity to make a real impact across a high-quality estate.

The role would suit either an experienced client-side surveyor or a consultancy-based Building Surveyor looking to transition into an in-house environment.

The Role

Reporting into the Head of Property, you will take ownership of a varied portfolio, providing professional Building Surveying expertise across the estate.

Key Responsibilities

  • Managing planned preventative maintenance programmes.
  • Delivering refurbishment, fit-out and capital improvement projects.
  • Undertaking building inspections, defect diagnosis and technical reporting.
  • Managing contract administration from inception to completion.
  • Preparing specifications, schedules of work and tender documentation.
  • Supporting acquisitions, disposals and due diligence surveys.
  • Managing contractors, consultants and project teams.
  • Ensuring statutory compliance across the portfolio.
  • Building strong relationships with internal stakeholders and external partners.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
