The Opportunity
We are working exclusively with a long-established, family-owned Midlands property company to appoint a Building Surveyor at graduate or early-career level. This is a rare chance to step into a genuine in-house role with breadth, variety, and real career development baked in from day one.

This is not a typical surveying position. Working client-side means you own your projects fully, from inception through to completion, and your performance is measured by commercial outcomes, not just task completion. Reporting directly to the Head of Building Surveying and Development, you will be part of a close-knit management team where your contribution is visible, valued, and rewarded.

If you are recently graduated, working towards your APC, or newly MRICS-qualified and looking for a role that will stretch you from the outset, this deserves your attention.

About the Business
Our client is a privately owned, family-run property company with deep roots in the Midlands. Their portfolio spans residential, commercial, and mixed-use assets, and the building surveying function sits at the heart of how they manage, develop, and add value to that stock. It is a business that takes a long-term view, invests in its people, and promotes from within.

What You Will Be Doing
You will take on a broad, hands-on building surveying remit covering the full lifecycle of projects across the portfolio. Day-to-day responsibilities include project management from inception to completion, project design and specification, defect diagnosis and repair, cost analysis and management, maintenance strategy, contract administration, schedules of condition, dilapidations matters, and portfolio and asset management.

No two days will look the same. You will manage your own workload, make real decisions, and develop projects that matter to the business. This is the kind of exposure that takes years to reach in private practice.

What We Are Looking For
You do not need to have every box ticked. What matters most is ambition, attitude, and a genuine commitment to doing the job well. The ideal candidate will hold a degree in Building Surveying or a related discipline alongside confidence with Microsoft Office. Strong communication skills, excellent time management, and the ability to manage your own workload independently are essential. An understanding of property management is helpful but not required. Full UK driving licence needed.

What Is on Offer
Competitive salary negotiable on experience, company car, benefits package, full-time permanent contract, and structured career progression with genuine promotion from within. This is a business that invests in the people who deliver.

How to Apply
This role is being managed exclusively by Joshua Robert. To find out more or to register your interest, please get in touch directly. All enquiries are treated in strict confidence. We would encourage early applications — the right person will not be on the market for long.
