Senior Building Surveyor

Ambitious Senior Building Surveyor wanted to drive real impact in Property & Construction from Liverpool.

Liverpool's building stock is a mix of Georgian terraces, 1960s commercial blocks and new-build developments racing to meet net zero targets. That mix creates constant work for surveyors who can move between dilapidations, defect diagnosis and pre-acquisition surveys without missing a beat. This particular business is a fast-growing property and construction startup, small enough that your findings on a Tuesday survey shape Wednesday's client strategy, and ambitious enough to be scaling its Liverpool operations right now.

Here's what you'll be doing

Carrying out building surveys, condition reports and defect diagnosis across a mixed portfolio of commercial and residential stock

Managing dilapidations claims from instruction through to settlement, for both landlords and tenants

Producing schedules of condition, planned preventative maintenance plans and technical due diligence reports

Advising clients directly on repair strategy, party wall matters and building pathology

Overseeing contract administration on refurbishment and repair projects, including site inspections and valuations

Building client relationships across Liverpool and the wider North West, spotting repeat instructions before anyone asks you to

Here are the skills you'll need

MRICS qualification (or close to chartership) with solid post-qualification experience in building surveying

Strong technical grounding in building pathology, defect analysis and construction detailing

Confident report writing. Clients need clarity, not jargon

Comfortable managing your own diary and instructions with minimal oversight

A pragmatic, get-stuck-in attitude. This is a startup, so you'll pick up work outside the standard job description

Full UK driving licence, given the site visits across Liverpool and neighbouring areas

Key perks and benefits

Salary of £31,000 to £46,000, depending on experience

Equity in the business. You're building something, so you should own a piece of it

Hybrid working, split between site visits, the Liverpool office and home

Flexible hours that work around survey schedules rather than fighting them

A genuine learning and development budget, plus a flat structure where your ideas reach decision-makers fast

Why pursue a career in Property & Construction?

Property and construction in the North West is not slowing down. Liverpool alone has a pipeline of regeneration projects that will need surveying expertise for years, and a Senior Building Surveyor who builds a reputation here rarely struggles for instructions. It's a sector where technical skill gets noticed quickly, and where chartered status opens doors to director-level roles well before you'd expect in other professions.
