Development Surveyor or Senior Development Surveyor

We are partnered with a successful boutique development consultancy, to help grow their team in due to an increased workload. The business is focused on London and the South East, and is a high-performing and fast-paced environment, in which ambitious Surveyors will succeed. They have an excellent track record with both private and public sector clients across all disciplines and have gone from strength to strength through the last few years, growing . The company works with PLCs, SMEs, RPs and local authorities working on: viability advice, s106/CIL obligations, feasibility studies, analysis, development agency and residential valuations.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a successful and lean team working on challenging projects, working closely with insightful colleagues as well as industry-leading Directors, who are hands on and involved in every project. They are a small and friendly team of professionals with an enviable and proven track record of supporting and developing their staff into senior property professionals with strong reputations.

Given the amount of work they have at the moment, they are open to level and whether they bring in two more junior candidates who are out of university, up to Senior Surveyor level.
