Building Surveyor - Retail & Leisure Client Work, Immediate Pipeline

The Opportunity

I m working on a genuinely rare opportunity for a Senior or Associate level Building Surveyor

This is a chance to step into a brand-new service line within an established, global consultancy - with immediate access to major clients and a live pipeline from day one.

You won t be inheriting a finished structure. You ll be helping build it.

From day one, you ll be delivering high-quality client work, shaping how the team operates, and playing a visible role in how this capability grows across the Midlands and beyond.

If you re looking for ownership, influence, and the chance to build something with backing behind it, this stands out.

The Role

This is a hands-on, high-impact position combining delivery with team and service development.

You will:

Deliver technical due diligence, pre-acquisition surveys, and condition surveys

Lead dilapidations instructions and manage client negotiations

Produce high-quality reports, specifications, and advisory outputs

Support wider technical surveying work linked to existing client instructions

Manage multiple instructions across national client portfolios

Help shape processes, templates, and best practice standards

Support and mentor junior surveyors as the team grows

You ll be working across a strong and varied workload from day one, with instructions already in place across the Midlands, North West, and wider UK.

The Business

You ll be joining a global consultancy with an established UK presence and long-standing relationships across major national clients.

The key difference here is timing.

They are now making a strategic investment into Building Surveying creating a dedicated capability to support an already secured client base.

The work is there. The relationships already exist.

Your role is to deliver quality, build trust, and help convert that into long-term demand.

This is not a cold-start role. It s about unlocking an existing pipeline.

What I m Looking For

MRICS qualified Building Surveyor (or equivalent)

Strong background in professional services (TDD, dilapidations, condition surveys)

Experience within a consultancy environment

Confident and credible with clients

Able to manage workload independently and deliver to a high standard

Commercially aware with a strong understanding of client expectations

Experience with retail or multi-site portfolios is useful, but not essential

This role can suit either a proven senior surveyor or someone ready to step up into a broader, more visible position.

Why This Stands Out

Early-stage role within a new Building Surveying service line

Immediate access to major national clients and live workload

Real influence over how the team is built and developed

Direct exposure to leadership and strategic growth plans

Clear pathway to Associate Director level as the team scales

Backed by a well-funded, established consultancy

Hybrid working with flexibility and autonomy

This is one of those roles that doesn t come around often the chance to help shape a team rather than just sit within one.

Package

£60,000 £75,000 (flexible for the right individual)

Comprehensive benefits package

Hybrid working

Clear progression pathway as the service line grows
