Take ownership of your own projects earlier than most: an established London construction consultancy is looking for an Assistant Building Surveyor who wants to run small works from inception to completion, write specifications, and help shape a growing team. This is a multi-disciplinary practice with building surveying at its core. You'll work across both public and private sector clients, predominantly housing associations and local authorities, with a workload centred on Section 20 major works including internal and external decorations, roof replacements, and planned maintenance schemes. It's not all cyclical works, though: the practice can offer larger, more complex instructions as you develop. The Assistant Building Surveyor Role Day to day, you'll manage your own small projects from start to finish, taking them through specification writing, tendering, contract administration, and practical completion. The workload suits someone who wants genuine project responsibility rather than shadowing a senior or being passed piecemeal tasks.
