Building Surveyor – Basildon

High-End Residential Projects | £50k–£70k + Benefits

A well-established Building Consultancy based in Basildon is looking to appoint a Building Surveyor to join their growing team. This is a project-focused role working primarily on high-end residential properties in central London locations such as Holland Park, South Kensington, and Mayfair. While the team is based in Basildon, whilst this is their preference, they are also open to a hybrid working arrangement for candidates living in London, as most site visits are in the capital.

The successful candidate will typically be on site 1–2 days per week, with the remainder spent working from Brentwood office / hybrid.

• Writing specifications

• Contract administration

• Experience working on residential or heritage buildings preferred

• Familiarity with Section 20 Major Works is highly desirable

• Strong organisational and specification writing skills

• Able to work independently and manage multiple live projects
