Experience Required: 5+ Years

Head of Building Surveying- London / Greater London - Hybrid working - up to £100,000 basic (Revised write up from post on 26/08, must be MRICS or FRICS)

My client are a well-respected London based independent, close knit team of around seven property professionals who are committed to delivering a quality service for their customers.

Due to continued success they're looking for an experienced forward thinking Building Surveyor who is ready and wanting to lead a small team with plans to grow the team in the coming months and years. 

They have a genuine focus on quality over quantity, reports during the 3 days per week with two days in the office per week, reserved for report writing. 

They are able to cater to a degree depending on your professional skill set and work that you prefer focusing on but most of the work will be L2 / L3 work, dilapidations, contract admin and project management. 

They have larger aspirations for the next ten years which the Director will be happy to speak about but as with any growing business, progression opportunities are likely to occur for those wanting this in the coming years.

Friendly down to earth management who are prepared to pay the right money for the right candidate. Experienced Building Surveyors without previous management experience will still be considered. 

Offering:

• Basic salary: £70,000 - £100,000 per annum depending on experience and track record.

• No additional car allowance, included in basic salary workings.

• Bonus can be discussed but likely 10% of anything billed over 3X salary.

• 45p per mile, milage allowance. 

• Other benefits to be discussed at interview, or please ask Luke for any specific questions. 

Additional information:

• Their average turnaround time for a building survey is 7 days, may be longer for commercial. 

• For technology, they are still looking at ways to improve efficiency, currently they are using dictators and writing up the reports in office, they are in the process of reviewing systems to enable for more seamless reporting. 

• For career development, if you wish to diversify into valuation, party wall work or project management they will likely be open to offering training and support. 

• Their average fee is around £1,100 to £1,200 for a L3, north of this for a commercial building survey 

All figures quoted above are agency approx. and possibly there will be additional car allowance / bonus payments*
