The successful candidate will be assisting in the preparation of tax claims for capital allowances and land remediation relief working with a wide variety of clients including many of the UK's largest house builders, regeneration companies, investors and owner occupiers. We are looking for a good understanding of construction processes and technology and strong core surveying technical skills. This role would also appeal to an individual with strong analytical skills and a process driven approach. Strong team working skills are also of vital importance.
This really is an exciting challenge for someone looking to step away from a project based role but wanting to use their experience in a more specialist, value add area of surveying. Our client offers a great team environment in a dynamic market sector often involved with real innovators in the construction industry working at the cutting edge of modern construction techniques. They also offer a great working environment able to support real flexibility and work life balance
