Senior Building Surveyor
Loc: London, Surrey or Birmingham
Sal: Up to £75,000 + Benefits, Bonus
I’m working with a fast-growing and ambitious Building Surveying team that is looking to appoint a Senior or Associate Director Building Surveyor to help shape the next stage of its growth.
This is an opportunity for an established Chartered Building Surveyor who wants more than a purely technical role. You’ll work closely with the Head of Building Surveying, helping to grow the client base, develop the team, and have a genuine influence over the direction of the service line.
The team works across prime and super-prime residential, commercial offices, theatres and heritage assets, retail and shopping centres, with the majority of work across London and the South-East.
The projects
The quality and variety of work is a major part of the attraction.
Recent and current projects include:
- Grade II listed residential properties in Central London
- Large office refurbishments in Surrey
- Shopping centres
- Complex heritage assets
- Super-prime residential developments in Surrey and London
The wider project portfolio also includes:
- A 23-storey residential development in Portsmouth
- The refurbishment of an existing office building in Camberley
There is also plenty of opportunity to work across different disciplines, with Building Surveyors collaborating with Project Managers, Quantity Surveyors, Bank Monitoring Surveyors, and Expert Witnesses on multidisciplinary instructions.
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.
The role
As a senior member of the team, you'll combine technical Building Surveying with client management and business development.
You'll be responsible for:
- Developing new business and building long-term client relationships.
- Managing and growing key client accounts.
- Preparing fee proposals and contributing as a major fee earner.
- Leading projects from instruction through to completion.
- Delivering professional Building Surveying services across residential and commercial property.
- Party Wall work and measured/building surveys.
- Preparing specifications, tender, and contract documentation.
- Contract Administration.
- Dilapidations and defect analysis.
- Licences to Alter.
- Supporting Expert Witness instructions where required.
- Mentoring junior surveyors and supporting APC candidates.
About you
You'll be MRICS qualified, with around 5–10+ years' post-qualification experience and a strong track record across Building Surveying.
We're looking for someone who is technically strong but also commercially aware and comfortable developing relationships with clients.
You should be someone who wants to win work, develop accounts, and help build a team, rather than simply deliver instructions handed to you.
Why consider it?
The attraction is the combination of technical variety, quality of clients, and genuine influence.
