About the Role
Our client, a growing property consultancy, is looking for an ambitious Graduate Surveyor to join their team. This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated graduate who wants hands-on exposure to a varied range of surveying work and the chance to develop quickly within a professional consultancy.
You will work alongside experienced Chartered Surveyors and senior colleagues, assisting with property inspections, technical reporting, valuation work, defect investigations and project-related instructions. The role combines office-based work, site inspections and direct contact with clients, contractors and other property professionals.
What You'll Be Doing
- Assist with residential and commercial property inspections and surveys.
- Support the preparation of RICS-style survey reports, defect reports and other technical property advice.
- Assist with property valuations, comparable research and market analysis.
- Undertake measured surveys, photographic schedules and accurate site notes.
- Help senior surveyors with defect diagnosis and recommendations for remedial works.
- Support project work – specifications, schedules of works, tender documentation, site inspections and progress reporting.
- Liaise professionally with clients, agents, contractors, solicitors and other consultants.
- Carry out property and market research and keep clear records of comparable evidence.
- Help prepare fee proposals, quotations, client correspondence and general job administration.
- Maintain accurate electronic project files, inspection records and supporting documentation.
- Manage allocated tasks efficiently and meet agreed reporting deadlines.
- Build technical knowledge of relevant legislation, RICS guidance, building regulations, health and safety and professional standards.
What We're Looking For
Our client wants someone enthusiastic, personable and driven – attitude matters more than previous experience. You'll ideally have:
- A degree in Building Surveying, Real Estate, Property, Construction or another relevant property-related discipline.
- A genuine interest in surveying, property and the built environment.
- Strong written English and the ability to produce clear, accurate and professional reports.
- Confident communication skills and a professional manner with clients and third parties.
- Good attention to detail and a methodical approach to inspections and record keeping.
- Commercial awareness and an interest in property values, construction and market conditions.
- Good organisational skills and the ability to juggle several tasks at once.
- A proactive, positive attitude and the confidence to ask questions, take responsibility and learn quickly.
- A full UK driving licence is essiential, due to the site-based nature of the role.
Training & Career Development
This role is designed to be the foundation for a long-term career in surveying. You'll gain practical experience across a broad range of instructions while working closely with experienced surveyors. Where applicable, the role can support progression towards RICS professional qualification and the APC process.
- Regular exposure to live property inspections and client instructions from an early stage.
- On-the-job mentoring from experienced surveyors and senior leaders.
- Increasing responsibility as your knowledge and confidence grow.
- Experience across surveying, valuation, defects and project work.
- Support with relevant professional development and technical training.
Why Join Our Client
- A varied role with exposure to real projects and client work – not a narrow graduate function.
- A young, dynamic and commercially focused working environment.
- Direct access to senior surveyors and decision-makers.
- A clear opportunity to develop technical skills, client confidence and professional responsibility.
- Progression driven by performance, attitude and capability.
