Location Birmingham or anywhere in the Midlands (fully remote, home-based)
The Opportunity A specialist project monitoring consultancy operating at the senior end of the development finance market is expanding its regional capability across the Midlands. The workload is focused on lender-funded developments of scale, including complex, long-term and multi-phase schemes where professional judgement, clarity of advice and credibility with funders are critical. Instructions are typically strategic in nature rather than transactional, providing strong visibility of work and sustained involvement on major projects. This role is suited to an experienced Project Monitoring Surveyor seeking a home-based position with genuine regional ownership and meaningful input into lender decision-making. It will suit those already operating at Associate Director level, as well as senior surveyors ready to step up into a broader, more influential remit.
The Role You will act as Project Monitor on lender-funded developments across the Midlands, from initial due diligence through delivery, providing clear, commercially focused advice to lenders and project teams. This is a judgement-led role. You’ll be expected to interrogate proposals, identify and articulate risk, and support lender confidence throughout the lifecycle of each project. You’ll operate with autonomy, supported by an experienced senior peer group rather than a leveraged, junior-heavy structure.

Candidate Profile Proven experience as a Project Monitoring Surveyor within development finance Background from a recognised project monitoring or building consultancy Comfort operating on mid-to-large scale developments and complex funding structures Strong lender-facing report writing skills Commercial mindset with the confidence to challenge assumptions and advise senior stakeholders Ability to work autonomously in a fully remote, regionally focused role Candidates ready to step into an Associate Director-level role will be considered Director-level candidates may also be considered where experience and capability support a broader remit MRICS preferred
Why This Role Exposure to significant lender-backed developments across the Midlands Direct influence on lender confidence and long-term project outcomes Opportunity to take ownership of a strategically important regional portfolio Senior peer group with no junior management burden Clear scope to build long-term influence within a growing, profitable consultancy Strong pipeline of work with long-term project visibility
