Job Description:

High-Spec Project Delivery & Mentorship | Manchester. Are you a Chartered Building Surveyor at a traditional firm who is ready to exchange rigid fee sheets and "sleepy" consultancy for genuine project ownership on your own terms? This is a rare opportunity to step out of a conventional structure and into a role where professional excellence is measured by the quality of the built environment, not just a billing target. My client operates a high-autonomy model that prioritises end-to-end project ownership, liberating you to focus entirely on leading high-spec workspace refurbishments from acquisition to final fit-out. For a technically accomplished surveyor who enjoys mentoring the next generation, this is an opportunity to join an award-winning team where you aren't just a cog in the machine-you are a project lead. The Opportunity This is a high-autonomy role for an ambitious surveyor who wants to move beyond "traditional" report writing. Our client is a fast-paced consultancy managing high-end assets for prestigious private equity investors and corporate occupiers in the thriving Manchester commercial sector.

Job Responsibility:

  • Project Leadership: Take charge of high-profile workspace fit-outs and refurbishments with contract values ranging from £50K to £20M
  • Full Lifecycle Management: Lead projects using your own initiative through every stage: from initial Acquisition Surveys and Schedules of Condition to Contract Administration and successful handover
  • Commercial Expertise: Prepare and negotiate Schedules of Dilapidations for both landlords and tenants, providing solution-focused, technically robust advice
  • Team Mentorship: Act as a technical anchor for the team, training and mentoring junior colleagues and graduates to ensure high professional standards
  • Business Contribution: Contribute to the growth of the wider business through networking, pitching, and representing the firm at key industry events

Requirements:

  • MRICS qualified
  • Minimum of 5 years post-qualification experience in a commercial consultancy
  • Deep experience in Contract Administration, Cost Control, and the JCT suite of contracts
  • Must be a seasoned campaigner - a confident leader who can lead projects from the front while possessing the presence and charisma to manage prestigious client relationships
What we offer:
  • No Personal Fee Targets
  • Performance-Led Bonus: discretionary bonus arrangement that has paid out every year for over 15 years
  • Work-Life Balance: 10am-3pm core hours, a 4pm finish on Fridays, and a Christmas office shutdown without using your annual leave allowance
  • Modern Culture: state-of-the-art Manchester office with free daily breakfast and gym membership
