Associate Chartered Building Surveyor

Associate Building Surveyor - Client & Growth Focus
(RICS Qualified)

Salary: up to £100k basic
Location: City of London / Hybrid

Looking for more than just another surveying role?
Want to shape a business, not just service instructions?

This is a senior Building Surveyor position with a well-established group operating across development and main contracting. They want someone credible, commercial and confident - a surveyor who can advise clients, win work, and help grow the contracting side of the business.

This role is about impact, influence and long-term career building.

The opportunity

This is an autonomous, Associate‑level role combining:

• Hands‑on building surveying across a live portfolio and projects
• Senior client engagement and relationship management
• Business development and fee‑generating activity
• Cross‑selling professional services into the main contracting arm

You'll be trusted to represent the business externally and help drive revenue, while still staying close to the technical detail.

What you'll be doing

• Surveying and advising across commercial and residential assets
• Leading technical due diligence, condition surveys and compliance advice
• Providing strategic input on remediation, refurbishment and re‑cladding projects
• Advising clients on BSR compliance, fire safety and Building Safety Act requirements
• Acting as a senior client‑facing contact - trusted, polished and credible
• Winning work, supporting bids, and contributing to fee proposals
• Identifying opportunities to cross‑sell into the contracting division
• Working directly with Directors to help shape growth and strategy

This is not a passive service role - you'll be expected to engage, influence and lead.

What we're looking for

• RICS qualified Building Surveyor
• Typically 10+ years post‑qualification experience (guide, not a blocker)
• Strong track record in client‑facing roles
• Comfortable winning work and engaging in fee discussions
• Proven experience with re‑cladding projects and BSR / Building Safety Act matters
• Commercial mindset with the confidence to spot and create opportunities
• Polished, credible and able to operate at senior client level
• Self‑starting, autonomous and motivated to make a mark

Why this role stands out

• Genuine influence on business growth, not just delivery
• Direct access to decision‑makers - your voice will matter
• Opportunity to help build and shape a contracting pipeline
• A platform to build a long‑term career, not just a job

This suits someone who's outgrown purely technical roles and wants recognition, responsibility and reward for what they bring in - not just what they deliver.

Interested but want a discreet conversation first? Or know someone senior who's ready for a step‑change?
