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
- Robust 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.
