Ready for a role that gives you the variety, autonomy and client exposure to really make your mark?

We're working with a growing construction consultancy that is looking to appoint an experienced Chartered Building Surveyor (MRICS) to join its expanding Manchester team.

With a strong pipeline of work across Manchester and the wider Northwest, this is a great opportunity for a Chartered Surveyor who wants more than just routine instructions. You'll be involved across a diverse mix of professional and project-based work, working directly with clients and taking ownership of projects from initial instruction through to completion.

The Role
You'll be joining a collaborative team where Chartered Surveyors are trusted to take responsibility for their own workload while also contributing to the wider growth of the business.

Your work will span a mixture of student accommodation, residential and mixed-use properties, alongside a variety of project and professional surveying instructions.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Delivering a broad range of Building Surveying services across Manchester and the Northwest.
• Undertaking condition surveys, defect diagnosis and technical due diligence.
• Providing dilapidations advice and preparing detailed reports and schedules.
• Preparing specifications, scopes of work and tender documentation.
• Acting as Contract Administrator on projects under JCT and NEC contracts.
• Managing refurbishment, remedial and maintenance projects from inception through to completion.
• Building and maintaining strong client relationships.
• Providing professional advice and helping clients develop appropriate project strategies.
• Supporting framework commissions and repeat client programmes.
• Taking an active role in developing junior members of the team.
• Working collaboratively with colleagues across the wider business and supporting projects nationally when required.

The experience they're looking for:

We're looking for an established Chartered Building Surveyor (MRICS) who is confident managing their own workload and comfortable dealing directly with clients.

You'll ideally have:

• An RICS-accredited degree in Building Surveying.
• MRICS / Chartered Building Surveyor status.
• Strong experience across both professional and project Building Surveying.
• Experience undertaking surveys, defect analysis, TDD and/or dilapidations.
• Experience with contract administration, ideally across JCT and NEC.
• Strong technical report-writing and specification skills.
• Experience managing projects through to completion.
• Excellent communication and client-facing skills.
• The ability to work autonomously while contributing positively to a collaborative team.
• A commercial mindset and an interest in developing client relationships and winning repeat business.
• AutoCAD and NBS experience; Revit/BIM knowledge would be advantageous but isn't essential.

Why this opportunity?

This is a chance to join a consultancy where you can take ownership of your work without being left to figure everything out alone.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Work on a genuinely varied portfolio of projects across Manchester and the Northwest.
• Combine professional surveying with project delivery.
• Work with established clients across a range of sectors.
• Take ownership of projects and client relationships.
• Get involved in framework and repeat-business opportunities.
• Mentor and support junior colleagues.
• Influence the continued growth of the Manchester team.
• Develop your commercial and business development skills.
• Work within a supportive and ambitious consultancy where your experience is valued.
