You do not see many chances to build a surveying division from scratch.
This is a senior surveying leadership role with national scope, built for someone who can set the direction, hire the right people, raise standards and make a new function work properly from day one.
For the right person, that is the draw... it isn't just leading surveyors, it's building the whole surveying operation around them.
The opportunity
- A fast-growing business is creating a new surveying function and wants an experienced leader to head it up.
- This is not a case of stepping into an established team and keeping things moving. You will be the person shaping how the surveying side of the business is built, how it runs, and how it grows.
- You will have real room to make decisions.
- Real backing.
- And a genuine chance to put your stamp on it.
What the job actually is
- At its core, this is a head of surveying role.
- You will be responsible for setting up and leading a national surveying division, building the team, creating the structure, and making sure technical standards, delivery and performance are where they need to be.
- It will suit someone who is strong on both the surveying side and the leadership side.
- Someone who can look at the bigger picture, but also knows what good surveying delivery looks like in practice.
What you’ll be doing
- build and lead a new national surveying function
- recruit, develop and manage a team of surveyors
- set technical standards, reporting lines and ways of working
- create clear processes around quality, consistency and output
- oversee surveying performance across a national remit
- work with senior leadership on growth plans and operational shape
- manage capacity, resource planning and team structure
- make sure the function is commercially sound as well as technically strong
Who this could suit
This is likely to suit someone already operating at a senior level in surveying, property or technical claims who wants a rare chance to build something properly.
You may already be:
- leading a surveying team and ready for a broader remit
- managing technical performance across multiple regions
- the person people trust to bring structure, standards and credibility
- frustrated by roles where you carry the responsibility but not the authority
- looking for something with real ownership rather than another management layer
This needs someone who is comfortable leading people, making decisions and being accountable for the shape of the function.
The business
- This appointment is highly confidential.
- What can be said is that the business is growing quickly, investing properly in this area, and wants someone strong enough to give the new surveying division immediate credibility.
- They are serious about getting this hire right.
