🏡 60% Office or Client Site | 40% Home
📄 Permanent
Are you an MRICS Chartered Building Surveyor looking for a broader role where you can genuinely own your work, build client relationships and avoid being boxed into one narrow specialism?
I’m looking to speak with experienced Senior Building Surveyors for a varied commercial building consultancy opportunity in Bristol.
This is a hands-on, client-facing role covering both professional and project services, with plenty of autonomy and the opportunity to take instructions from initial brief through to delivery.
What you’ll be working on
- Condition and pre-acquisition surveys
- Technical due diligence and defect diagnosis
- Dilapidations and schedules of condition
- Refurbishment, repair and maintenance projects
- Specifications and schedules of work
- Tendering, procurement and contract administration
- Employer’s Agent and project delivery responsibilities
- Party Wall, CDM and Building Regulations matters
- Client meetings, advice and stakeholder management
- Fee proposals, repeat instructions and business development
- Mentoring and supporting junior surveyors
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.
What we’re looking for
- MRICS Chartered Building Surveyor
- Minimum 3 years post-qualification experience
- Current commercial building consultancy experience
- Strong professional services experience, ideally including surveys, TDD, dilapidations and defects
- Project delivery experience across specifications, tendering, procurement and contract administration
- Confidence managing clients and contractors directly
- Strong technical report writing and commercial judgement
- Comfortable managing several instructions independently
Experience across offices, industrial/logistics, retail, mixed-use, education, healthcare or student accommodation would all be relevant.
Particularly attractive backgrounds
We’re especially interested in surveyors who have developed in small or mid-sized commercial consultancies where they have had genuine ownership of their work.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
If you’re currently in a larger consultancy, that can absolutely work too, provided you can demonstrate broad hands-on experience rather than being limited to one specialist service line.
Why consider it?
This opportunity would suit someone who wants:
- A genuinely broad building surveying remit
- More ownership of client instructions
- Direct exposure to senior decision-makers
- A mix of professional and project work
- The chance to mentor and develop others
- Greater visibility over your own client relationships and career progression
- A Bristol-based hybrid working model, with client-site days counting toward office attendance
📍 You’ll need to be practical for the Bristol office and client sites, with the role operating on a 60% office/site and 40% home basis. A valid UK driving licence is also required.
If you’re MRICS with 3+ years PQE and want a role where you can combine technical expertise, project delivery and genuine client ownership, I’d love to hear from you.
