You will be working in a team of 12, where you will report into an Associate and have junior surveyors beneath you. At the moment there is a mix of WFH and working in the office which is currently led by the employee, the Partner managing the division has no desire to change that so this role would be ideal for someone looking for a better work - life balance.

What you'll need to succeed
In order to be considered for this role you will need to have the following; knowledge of Asbestos management duties, H&S legislation and CDM Regulations, experience in Management of Small to Medium sized projects, identifying building defects and preparing specifications, working knowledge of IT systems and software such as MS Project, Office, & AutoCAD and knowledge of the JCT forms of Contract. You will ideally be MRICS or close to taking your APC interview.
What you'll get in return
As part of the package for this role, you can expect a salary of up to £55k along with a 25 days holiday + bank holidays which goes up to 30 after time served, reimbursement for APC and professional examination costs, professional fees paid for, pension options and life assurance.
