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 Next Steps Click Apply or get in touch for a confidential conversation with Andrew Pearson at EC Property Recruitment.
