If you are an experienced MRICS qualified Chartered Valuation Surveyor and Registered Valuer who specialises in the commercial sector, this is an exceptional opportunity to escape corporate bureaucracy without sacrificing your earning potential. We are partnering with a premier, independent, multi-disciplinary property consultancy established since 1890.

Acquisitions, disposals, and strategic asset management. Development appraisals and specialist valuation purposes. As a Senior Surveyor, you will also act as a vital point of technical reference, collaborating with central quality assurance teams, assisting colleagues with complex cases, and maintaining high standards of Red Book compliance. The Perfect Balance: While you will manage your own workflow and use your local market expertise within a 40-mile radius of your home base, you are never left isolated. You are fully supported by digital inspection tools, modern valuation software, and a dedicated central administrative and operational team. Furthermore, you will actively contribute to the growth of the commercial service line through regional networking and business development, backed by a 100-strong professional workforce.
