Higher-risk buildings. Principal Designer duties. The Building Safety Act in practice – and a bonus that rewards every pound you bill.

A well-established and growing multi-disciplinary practice of Chartered Surveyors, Project Managers and Cost Consultants in the City of London is expanding its Building Consultancy team, alongside a recently launched Building Safety & Compliance service that has taken off. They need a senior MRICS Building Surveyor who can run residential, mixed-use and higher-risk building instructions with minimal oversight – and grow the client base that comes with them.

WHY THIS ROLE?

• The sharp end of building safety – Higher-Risk Building and Principal Designer work, not box-ticking
• Earn what you bill – one of the industry’s most competitive, billing-linked bonus schemes
• Real progression – a clear promotion framework, with former graduates now at board level
• Directors on every project – high-calibre work in a close-knit team with excellent retention
• Hybrid working – up to two days a week from home once you’ve passed probation

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

• Running your own instructions end to end – from brief and fee proposal through delivery, variations and billing
• Acting as Principal Designer under CDM 2015 and under the Building Regulations 2010
• Advising clients on dutyholder responsibilities and reviewing existing buildings and proposed works
• Preparing and coordinating Higher-Risk Building information and supporting submissions to statutory bodies
• Delivering the full building surveying service, with a strong project management and contract administration focus
• Winning repeat and new business, and cross-selling the wider practice’s services
• Developing junior surveyors – with direct line management at Associate Director level

WHERE

• Central London (City) office – most projects across Greater London, occasional travel in the South of England

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

• MRICS Chartered Building Surveyor – ideally five or more years’ post-qualification experience
• Private-sector residential and mixed-use (commercial and retail) experience, including Higher-Risk Buildings
• In-depth knowledge of the Building Safety Act 2022, the Building Regulations 2010 and the Higher-Risk Buildings Procedures Regulations 2023
• A clear grasp of the distinct Principal Designer duties under CDM and under the Building Regulations
• A track record of generating your own work and client relationships – for Associate Director, an established client following you can bring
• Clear, robust reports and fee proposals; confident chairing meetings; at home with M365 and common data environments
• Public-sector contacts are a bonus, supporting the practice’s growth into that market

SENIOR SURVEYOR OR ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR?

Level depends on experience. Senior Surveyors own their workload and grow client relationships; Associate Directors lead complex instructions through others, bring a strong client following and help grow the team.

• Billing-linked bonus – earn as much as you bill
• New-business rewards   Hybrid working (up to two days from home)
• Group health insurance, season ticket loan, volunteering days
