Careers

BUILDING SURVEYOR

INTRODUCTION AND CANDIDATE REQUIREMENTS

 

An excellent opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and highly-motivated Building Surveyor to assist in the expansion of our well-established private practice. Ideally, candidates should be professionally qualified or have at least 5 years appropriate experience.

 

There is potential for significant career development for the successful candidate. In view of this, applicants will be required to demonstrate sound technical and communications skills, elaborate on their experience in working in a team environment and evidence how they would accept responsibility for receipt and delivery of client instructions. Candidates should also have good interpersonal skills and sound commercial sense.

 

The company works predominantly in the private sector in Central London and the home counties. The post will involve working for a number of clients including major London Landed Estates, large property developers and prime managing agents.

 

The newly-appointed member of staff will wish to develop their career with us as well as being client facing and keen to develop new business opportunities.

 

Given a large proportion of our workload relates to the technical aspects of reviewing / consenting to Tenant’s applications for Licences for Alterations (i.e. the core duties of the role), we are particularly keen to receive applications from candidates who have experience in this specialised aspect of Building Surveying or from those (i.e. those not necessarily from a Building Surveying background) who can demonstrate:

 

• Attention to detail in reviewing drawings and property Lease information

• Good written skills allowing for the preparation of Landlord consent documentation

• Excellent organisation abilities and administrative aptitude in reviewing compliance with Landlord approval letters, reports and schedules and 

• A high level of diplomacy in dealing with clients, applicants and/or their agents alike.

It’s been an absolute delight working with the team, particularly Sam and Stuart who have been very easy to work with. Professional at all times as well as providing that unique bespoke service which is greatly appreciated and noticeable. I cannot recommend anyone else who has come close to providing the service CH receive from MB. #Legend
