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. Due to ongoing success and regional expansion, they are seeking a senior fee-earner to deliver high-quality, Red Book-compliant valuation services across a diverse mix of commercial assets.

Actively rewarding individual performance by cutting out the complicated, delayed tier systems found at global corporate firms: 12.5% of personal net billing paid as an uncapped monthly performance incentive. Zero minimum thresholds to qualify you earn from the very first pound you bill. No caps on your earning potential. No delays: Your bonus is paid alongside your base salary in the exact month the billing is generated, ensuring complete control over your income. The Technical Scope & Autonomy This role offers genuine technical variety, moving away from repetitive, single-sector commercial reports. Operating independently from home, you will take full ownership of a varied instruction pipeline from quotation to final delivery. Your workload will cover industrial, office, retail, mixed-use, and specialist commercial sectors for: Secured lending and financial reporting. 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. What You Need to Bring Qualifications: You must be a fully qualified Member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (MRICS) and a RICS Registered Valuer.

In a competitive market where multiple agencies might approach you, partnering with an experienced specialist gives you a distinct advantage. With 25 years of industry relationships, I ensure your profile bypasses automated portals and lands directly with the Head of Valuation & Survey. I understand the commercial landscape, meaning I can help you articulate your historic billing performance and technical expertise to secure the top end of the salary band. Every conversation is held in the strictest professional confidence. To learn more about the specific geography available, the firm's culture, or for a completely confidential breakdown of the commission structure, please apply with your CV or reach out directly for an informal discussion.
