Chartered Building Surveyor

A Chartered Building Surveyor can take genuine ownership of clients and projects within an independent London consultancy that rewards judgement, not just utilisation figures.

The firm has grown through long-standing relationships and gives senior surveyors direct access to its leadership team.

You will manage instructions from initial brief to completion and act as a trusted point of contact for clients.
