MRICS Building Surveyor NEW

Hays Construction and Property

Thisis not a Building Surveying role for someone who wants to sit inside a largeteam and simply manage the work they are given. It’s for someone who wantsautonomy, commercial ownership and the opportunity to build something.

I’mworking to appoint an MRICS Building Surveyor covering the South West. There isalready a significant volume of work coming through the wider business. Theopportunity is to become the surveyor that internal and external clients trustwith that work, while developing your own relationships and reputation acrossthe region.

Your Opportunity

You’lltake ownership of commercial building surveying projects, typically from around 80,000 into the millions, covering the full journey from initial instructionthrough specification, tender and delivery.

What You’ll Take Ownership Of

• JCT Contract Administration
• Specification Writing
• Schedule of Works preparation
• Refurbishment and Reinstatement projects
• Building Pathology and Defect Diagnosis
• Managing contractors and professional teams
• Developing strong relationships with key professional stakeholders and clients
• Managing multiple live projects across the region
• Identifying opportunities to grow relationships and secure further work

Thisis a busy environment. Balancing multiple live instructions, you need to becomfortable making decisions, managing competing priorities and getting thingsmoving without needing someone looking over your shoulder.

Why This Role Stands Out

Ourclient has the infrastructure, client relationships and volume to support you.What they want is someone with the ambition to take advantage of that platformand run their region with the mentality of it being their own business.

You’llhave significant autonomy over how you operate, with very limited requirementto be in an office, while still having the backing of a wider commercialsurveying & design team, with dedicated administrative support.

Thereis genuine scope to develop more traditional private-practice work alongsidethe existing portfolio. Surveyors have already made the transitionsuccessfully, so previous experience in this type of environment isn’tessential.

Who We’re Looking For

Youare an MRICS Building Surveyor who is technically strong but wants moreownership than your current position gives you.

Where You Might Be

• In private practice and frustrated by limited autonomy or progression
• In a larger consultancy and wanting greater ownership of clients and projects
• Already working within this world and looking for a bigger platform
• Running a small practice and attracted by keeping the autonomy without carrying all the risk yourself

Whateveryour background, you’ll need to be strong on JCT Contract Administration andspecification writing, comfortable operating independently and commerciallyminded enough to develop trusted relationships rather than simply deliverinstructions.

Previousrelevant experience, Principal Designer knowledge or an established contractornetwork would all be useful, but they are not prerequisites.

Location & Package

Therole would work particularly well for someone based around Bristol, Cardiff orOxford, with travel across the wider South West and South Coast.

• 60,000- 65,000 basic salary
• Car allowance that scales
• Healthy performance-related bonus
• Flexible hybrid working

Thebonus is both meaningful and achievable for surveyors with the right drive andambition.

Interested? Let’s Talk

Ifyou are looking for a conventional Building Surveying job with a tightlydefined patch and workload, this probably isn’t it.

Ifyou want the backing and workload of a major international business, but theautonomy and commercial ownership you’d normally associate with runningsomething yourself, then get in touch.

NoCV needed initially. I’d rather have a straightforward conversation about whatyou’re doing now and where the opportunity sits for you.
