About you
Our new Surveyor will:
Demonstrate excellent commercial acumen in the housebuilding sector, ideally gained on multi-million Residential Apartments, Retirement Living, Extra-Care Homes or student accommodation
You will have experience in taking projects through their full lifecycle, from tender to final account
As a minimum you will be able to demonstrate at least 5 years relevant commercial experience within the housebuilding sector
You will hold a relevant HNC or HND qualification together with professional body membership (RICS or MOICB) and you will be able to understand architect drawings, specification documents, as well as the relevant terminology
It's important that you are a commercially astute negotiator who is used to exceeding time and financial targets. Your self-motivation and ability to prioritise your workload will ensure you are comfortable working both independently and collaboratively to take on a wide range of responsibilities
In addition, our new Surveyor will be highly numerate in order to fulfil expectations regarding budgets, forecasting, reporting and preparation of accounts. Fluency in written and spoken English is essential, coupled with a high standard of IT skill, MS Office and construction-related accounting software
You will hold a clean, valid UK driving licence
