Senior Building Surveyor - Client side

Senior Building Surveyor – Client-Side (Central London Portfolio)

Location: London

Salary: £70k-80k + discretionary bonus (up to 20%)

An established London-based property owner and operator is looking to appoint a Senior Building Surveyor to join their in-house team.

This is a high-impact role within a well-capitalised business, offering exposure to a significant pipeline of refurbishment and fit-out projects across a multi-asset portfolio.

The position is heavily delivery-focused, suited to someone who enjoys being on-site and actively involved in projects, rather than sitting behind a desk.

The Role

You will split your time across approximately 70% building surveying (fabric condition, maintenance strategy, technical advice) and 30% project delivery, with a strong emphasis on refurbishment and fit-out works.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver fabric inspections, defect diagnosis, and technical recommendations across a Central London portfolio
• Lead refurbishment and fit-out projects from inception through to completion
• Manage external consultants and contractors to ensure quality, programme, and cost control
• Work closely with internal stakeholders to prioritise and allocate capital expenditure
• Play an active role in shaping where investment is deployed across the portfolio
• Support and mentor a junior team member transitioning into Building Surveying

The Opportunity

This role offers genuine influence over how capital is deployed, rather than simply delivering pre-defined scopes. You will be part of the decision-making process, helping shape the direction of projects and asset improvement strategies.

It is an ideal move for someone looking to step into a more commercially exposed, client-side position with a strong pipeline of work and visible impact across high-quality London assets.

About You

• Chartered or working towards (MRICS/AssocRICS preferred)
• Strong experience across building surveying and project delivery (refurbishment/fit-out)
• Comfortable managing multiple projects simultaneously
• Proactive, hands-on approach with a preference for being on-site
• Confident communicator, able to engage with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
