About the Business
Tempest Jones are partnering with an award-winning multidisciplinary property and construction consultancy to appoint a Building Surveyor or Senior Building Surveyor into its growing Leeds Building Surveying team.
This is an opportunity to join one of the strongest multidisciplinary consultancy offices in the Yorkshire market. The Leeds office is now home to around 70 professionals across multiple disciplines and continues to grow as a key regional hub for the business.
Based from impressive new offices in Leeds, you will work within a genuinely collaborative multidisciplinary environment, alongside colleagues across Building Surveying, Project Management, Cost Management, Architecture, Engineering, and wider consultancy services.
The Building Surveying team works across a broad range of sectors including healthcare, education, residential, retail, and industrial. The workload is varied, with a strong balance of project and professional work. As a guide, the role is likely to be around 60% project-led and 40% professional building surveying services.
For a surveyor who wants variety, client exposure, and a clear platform for progression, this is a strong opportunity to join a team with real momentum.
The Opportunity
The Leeds Building Surveying team has built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality advice across both project and professional instructions.
What they are looking for now is someone who enjoys being more than a narrow technical specialist. Someone who can run schemes, manage clients, apply sound technical judgment, and continue developing into a more rounded consultant.
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.
This could suit an already chartered Senior Building Surveyor who is looking for a stronger regional platform, or a Building Surveyor who is close to chartership and wants the right support, exposure, and environment to complete that journey.
The attraction of the role is the balance. You will not be boxed into one type of instruction. You will have the opportunity to work across project delivery, professional surveying, client management, and wider team growth.
With the wider multidisciplinary business continuing to grow across Yorkshire and the North, the pipeline of future opportunities is strong.
The Role
As Building Surveyor or Senior Building Surveyor, you will:
- Deliver a broad range of building surveying instructions across project and professional work.
- Run schemes and manage client relationships with appropriate support from senior colleagues.
- Prepare specifications, schedules of work, reports, and technical advice.
- Support contract administration and project delivery across a varied portfolio.
- Undertake surveys, inspections, defect analysis, and professional instructions.
- Work closely with colleagues across the wider multidisciplinary office.
- Contribute to client development and support wider business growth where appropriate.
- Continue developing technically, commercially, and professionally within a growing team.
The Candidate
We are keen to speak with Building Surveyors and Senior Building Surveyors who have experience within a consultancy environment and enjoy working across a varied workload.
You may already be MRICS chartered, or you may be close to chartership and looking for the right consultancy to support you through the final stages of the APC process.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You will ideally have:
- Experience across either/both project and professional building surveying work.
- MRICS chartership, or be actively working towards it.
- The confidence to manage instructions and communicate directly with clients.
- A good technical understanding of buildings, defects, and project delivery.
- A proactive, personable, and commercially aware approach.
- The ambition to keep progressing within a growing consultancy.
Most importantly, you will be looking for a role where you can continue developing, take ownership of your work, and become part of a strong regional team with genuine momentum.
Why This Role May Appeal
For many Building Surveyors, the next move is not just about changing employer. It is about finding the right environment to keep progressing.
This role offers the chance to join a respected consultancy with a strong Leeds presence, a balanced workload, a collaborative team, and the opportunity to develop both technically and commercially.
For someone close to chartership, the business can offer the support and exposure needed to complete the journey.
For someone already chartered, the role offers the chance to build greater client ownership, take on more responsibility, and continue progressing within a growing regional team.
If you are looking for the opportunity to join one of the UK’s most respected multidisciplinary consultancies, work from one of the strongest consultancy offices in Leeds, and build your career within a growing Building Surveying team, we would welcome a confidential conversation.
