The Team

Colliers Project & Building Consultancy (PBC) is a multi-disciplinary UK and European consultancy with a dynamic, commercial outlook and close-knit team ethic, working within the property industry.

The Opportunity

Following a strong establishment of the Measured Surveys Service team, Colliers (UK) are looking to grow the service line with a number of hires. We have created a dynamic new service line for Colliers (UK), to enable the business to provide Area Referencing Survey Reports and associated services. 

As this is a relatively new service line for Colliers, it therefore brings a unique opportunity for the successful candidate to help drive the early development of the new service line, working with the Service Line Head (SLH). Colliers will provide a tried and tested platform for providing the managerial support they will need, alongside Marketing and Communications, Finance, HR and legal compliance. There is an existing healthy client base and rich work stream to tap into. The new service line would sit within the existing Project and Building Consultancy (PBC) team, which comprises 250 people across the UK, led by Robert Perry, as Managing Director.   

There is desire to grow the service to provide other complimentary, bolt on, services in due course, however the initial focus will be on Area Referencing Survey Reports.
