Walker & Sloan are working with a highly respected, independent real estate consultancy to recruit an Associate Building Surveyor to join their team in Cardiff.

Our client is an independent real estate and construction consultancy with more than 50 years of history, a team of over 145 people across a network of UK offices and certified B Corp status. They advise some of the UK's best-known institutional investors, landlords and occupiers across offices, retail, industrial, residential, leisure, education and science and technology.

Alongside building surveying, technical due diligence, dilapidations and project management, the business offers building and fire safety, MEP, façade and structural engineering and sustainability advice, and is known for a collaborative culture where knowledge is shared and people support one another.

The Cardiff office serves commercial property clients across South Wales and beyond, with the support of a national multidisciplinary consultancy.

For an ambitious Chartered Building Surveyor looking for a senior role with real client ownership and a clear path to Director, this represents an exceptional opportunity.

The Opportunity

As Associate Building Surveyor, you'll lead your own commercial property instructions from start to finish and act as a senior point of contact for key clients.

You'll work closely with the office leadership and colleagues across disciplines, bringing wider expertise to clients when they need it.

You'll have genuine autonomy over how you run your projects and the clients you build relationships with.

Importantly, this isn't simply a delivery position. You'll help shape the growth of the Cardiff team and its client base.

The Role

You'll lead a broad building surveying workload, including technical due diligence and acquisition surveys, dilapidations, defects diagnosis, planned maintenance and the contract administration of refurbishment projects.

You'll manage your own clients and projects, keeping quality, programme and fees on track.

You'll play a pivotal role in winning new instructions and developing relationships with investors, landlords, occupiers and agents.

You'll review the work of more junior colleagues and help maintain technical standards across the office.

You'll also mentor and develop surveyors and graduates through their APC and beyond.

About You

You'll be a Chartered Building Surveyor at Associate level, or a strong Senior Building Surveyor ready for the step up, with a consultancy background in commercial property.

You'll ideally demonstrate:

• Broad commercial building surveying experience with a consultancy or agency
• Strong technical due diligence and dilapidations experience
• Experience administering refurbishment and fit-out contracts
• Confident client management and the ability to win repeat work
• Excellent report writing and technical judgement
• Experience supervising or mentoring junior surveyors

MRICS (Chartered Building Surveyor) is required.

Building surveyors currently in Bristol or along the M4 corridor who would consider Cardiff are strongly encouraged to apply.

Above all, we're looking for someone who combines technical excellence with strong client relationships and the ambition to keep progressing.

What’s on Offer?

• Salary up to £85,000
• Package on top of basic salary
• Senior client-facing role with genuine project ownership
• Backing from a national, independent, multidisciplinary consultancy
• A B Corp business with a collaborative, supportive culture
• A clear path to Director-level progression
