I m recruiting a senior Monitoring Surveyor to take immediate responsibility for an established Scottish lender portfolio. This is not a slow-burn hire, and not a training role. You ll step straight into live projects, manage your own workload, and be trusted to deliver. If you re already doing monitoring - or doing it as a part of your current role - this is a chance to focus fully on it, with autonomy, strong fee income, and genuine long-term progression. This appointment is part of a wider plan to grow the Scottish monitoring team. The immediate priority is delivery, but the longer-term objective is to build additional capacity beneath this role as workload continues to expand. For the right person, this develops into a senior position with influence over how the team evolves. The Role This is a senior, delivery-led monitoring position primarily covering Scotland s Central Belt, with the bulk of work across Glasgow and Edinburgh with some projects a little further afield (e.g Dundee, Aberdeen). You ll manage a live caseload from day one, with responsibility for quality, judgement, and client confidence - not just site visits. Key responsibilities include: Managing a live portfolio of lender and fund monitoring instructions, preparing detailed initial due diligence and risk reports, undertaking regular site inspections and monthly monitoring reports. Assessing progress, cost to complete, programme, and drawdown requests Liaising directly with lenders, funds, borrowers, and project teams Managing reporting timetables and site visits autonomously Maintaining consistent reporting standards across varied lender templates Projects span private residential, serviced accommodation, PBSA, hotels, and office conversions. Values range from c. £1m schemes through to £30 million, although on occasion they do large multi-phase developments in excess of £100m. A sensible workload is around live projects- busy, but manageable. This will enable you to comfortably hit your bonus target. Who This Suits They want someone very much in the mould of the people they already trust. You ll ideally have: Proven experience acting as Monitoring Surveyor for banks or development funders A QS, Building Surveying, or Project Management background. Strong technical judgement and clear, lender-friendly report writing. Confidence running live instructions without close supervision. Experience managing multiple projects concurrently. Comfort dealing directly with lenders and funds MRICS is welcome but not essential if your monitoring experience is strong. This will suit someone who: Is already specialising in monitoring, or is doing monitoring within a larger consultancy and wants to formalise that path Working Style Fully home-based Total autonomy over your diary Regional site visits across the Central Belt Quarterly one-day team sessions in London There is no expectation to sit in an office. You ll be trusted to plan your time, manage your workload, and deliver. Support is there when needed - but micromanagement is not part of the culture. Salary, Bonus & Package The role can be appointed at Senior or Associate Director level, depending on experience. Indicative base salary: Senior / Associate: £50,000 £60,000 Associate Director : £60,000 £70,000 (depending on experience) In addition to base salary: Car allowance Pension Commission-style bonus linked directly to your own fee delivery The bonus is transparent and performance-led- hitting target fee levels typically delivers a circa 15% bonus, with further upside for overperformance. Total earnings are materially higher than base alone. Progression At six months, success looks like being fully embedded with a double-digit live caseload. At twelve months, you ll be a senior presence in Scotland - helping stabilise delivery and enabling future growth, including the potential to support or mentor a more junior hire. This is a genuine senior role with influence, not just a title. The Process Initial confidential conversation Interview focused on real monitoring scenarios Final sign-off This is a live hire, and they are keen to move quickly for the right person.
