Senior / Associate Building Surveyor – Hybrid, Varied Workload

I’m working with a well-established, multi-disciplinary consultancy to appoint a Senior or Associate Building Surveyor into its Building Surveying team in Orpington. They offer very flexible working patterns with a minimum requirement of only 1 day in the office in Orpington, meaning candidates living a little further afield could consider this. 

This is a role for someone who wants to step into a more influential position- leading projects, supporting team development, and working within a business that delivers meaningful work across both the public and commercial sectors.

You’ll be joining a collaborative, technically strong team with a consistent pipeline of secured work and a reputation for quality delivery.

You’ll play an active role in maintaining quality, consistency, and professionalism across project delivery.

About You

You’ll be a capable and motivated Building Surveyor who is comfortable taking ownership of projects and working closely with clients.
