Summary

Perfect role for a mid professional looking to grow their Property & Construction career in London.

London's built environment sector is under sustained pressure to deliver, from major regeneration schemes to compliance-driven retrofits. This role sits within an established Property & Construction leader, an enterprise-scale organisation with 250+ staff and a track record on large, complex projects across the capital. They've built structured career paths and clear frameworks, which matters if you want to know where you stand and where you're headed.

Here's what you'll be doing:

Carrying out building surveys, condition reports and defect diagnosis across a varied portfolio of commercial and residential assets in London

Managing dilapidations claims from instruction through to settlement, acting for landlords and tenants

Preparing schedules of condition, planned preventative maintenance plans and party wall awards

Overseeing contract administration on refurbishment and repair projects, including tendering and cost control

Advising clients on building pathology, regulatory compliance and dilapidations strategy

Liaising with contractors, architects and engineers to keep projects on programme and within budget

Here are the skills you'll need:

MRICS qualification (or close to chartership), with a genuine grounding in building surveying practice

Solid experience across dilapidations, contract administration and defect analysis

Working knowledge of building regulations, party wall matters and JCT contracts

Strong report writing skills. Clients need clarity, not jargon

Confidence managing your own caseload while knowing when to escalate

A collaborative approach. You'll work alongside architects, engineers and project managers regularly

Key perks and benefits:

£36,500 to £54,500, depending on experience

Hybrid working, with flexibility to balance site visits and home working

Private medical and dental insurance

Enhanced pension scheme and performance-based bonuses

A comprehensive benefits package built for long-term careers, not just this year

Why pursue a career in Property & Construction?

London remains one of the busiest Property & Construction markets in Europe, and demand for chartered surveyors shows no sign of slowing. A Chartered Building Surveyor here isn't stuck behind a desk. You'll see buildings age, fail, get repaired and get reborn, and there's real satisfaction in that. Few sectors offer this level of variety alongside such a clear route to chartership and beyond.

This Chartered Building Surveyor opportunity is brought to you by The Opportunity Hub UK.
