Senior Building Surveyor
Cardiff | Hybrid Working | Up to £65,000 + Excellent Benefits
Looking for more than just another surveying role?
Perhaps you're enjoying the technical side of Building Surveying but want greater autonomy. Maybe you're ready to take the lead on larger, more complex projects, mentor junior colleagues or work for a consultancy that genuinely supports career progression.
If that sounds familiar, this opportunity could be exactly what you're looking for.
A well-established property and construction consultancy is continuing to invest in its South Wales team and is looking to appoint a Senior Building Surveyor to help drive the delivery of an exciting and varied portfolio of work.
Working from the Cardiff office with the flexibility of hybrid working, you'll have the opportunity to shape projects, build long-term client relationships and become a trusted member of a growing team.
The Opportunity
This isn't a role where you'll be pigeonholed into one service line.
Instead, you'll enjoy a diverse workload across both professional and project-based Building Surveying, working with clients across sectors including commercial property, education, defence, emergency services and residential portfolios.
Projects range from condition surveys and planned maintenance programmes through to major refurbishment and capital improvement schemes worth several million pounds.
You'll have the freedom to manage your own projects while collaborating with colleagues from across the business to deliver high-quality outcomes for clients.
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.

- Developing and maintaining strong client relationships that lead to repeat business.
- Supporting and mentoring junior surveyors, helping them develop their technical and professional skills.
- Working closely with multidisciplinary teams to ensure projects are delivered safely on time and within budget.
About You
You'll be an experienced Building Surveyor who enjoys balancing technical delivery with client-facing responsibilities.
Ideally, You'll Have
- A degree in Building Surveying or another RICS-accredited discipline.
