Opportunity

We are a well-established, independent and ambitious firm of RICS Building Surveyors looking for an experienced Residential Surveyor to carry out Level 3 and Level 2 home surveys. The patch would be tailored to the surveyor’s location, so this role could be suited to someone living in the West Midlands, Worcestershire or Warwickshire.

The role

Are you looking for something a little bit different? Our surveyors focus on people and property, rather than focussing on screens and tablets.

Our highly skilled residential surveyors specialise in Level 3 surveys of complex, individual homes that need careful inspection. We are proud of our tailored, bespoke reports containing exceptional technical insight, drawing on the expertise of our multidisciplinary team.

New residential surveyors benefit from mentoring by colleagues with decades of experience in the industry. For those looking to widen their capability, there are opportunities to train with commercial surveyors and structural engineers. This means our surveyors develop a breadth of expertise that is hard to match, and our clients benefit from comprehensive reports that don’t rely on caveats.

We also benefit from an excellent admin team, who support our surveyors with report writing and production. This minimises surveyor desk admin, enables a great work–life balance and allows us to focus on what we do best: surveying.

The person

The ideal candidate will be an RICS chartered building surveyor or an experienced AssocRICS surveyor, and will be confident in carrying out residential building surveys. They must have an eye for detail and a thorough understanding of building defects, maintenance and repairs.

You will need to have experience of:

• RICS residential building surveys
• a wide range of structural and building defects
• preparing and presenting comprehensive, accurate survey reports
• providing clear, concise, justified conclusions
• working independently and within a team structure
• liaising with clients, both verbally and through written correspondence

A full UK driving licence is required.

What we offer

• Salary of approx. £55–£65K, depending on experience
• A diverse role with excellent opportunities for career progression: partnership is a possibility for the right person
• A supportive network of in-house professionals and admin staff
• Flexible and generous packages to suit you. These typically include (but are not limited to):
  • health and life insurance
  • flexible working and working from home
  • 26 days annual leave plus bank holidays
  • car allowance or company car
  • payment of professional subscriptions and support with CPD
  • provision of all engineering and home office equipment
