Job Title

Senior Surveyor – Building Consultancy

Job Description Summary

Cushman & Wakefield are expanding their Midlands Building Consultancy team. We provide a spectrum of commercial consultancy advice across a diverse client base of both private and public sector clients. The role will mostly be focussed within Midlands, however there is opportunity to work throughout the UK. The role is an excellent opportunity to assume more responsibility, obtain experience in managing and supervising junior team members and build direct relationships with clients. The role will include working across all core Building Surveying services, as we believe individuals enjoy a more diverse and varied workload. Of course, specialising favourite service lines is also encouraged.

Job Description

Our culture is a mixture of friendship, enjoying the work we do, and an ethos that the individual is at the heart of the business. Cushman & Wakefield has a global reputation as market leaders, and we are also employers of choice. We enjoy our work, we talk to each other, we socialise, we play sports together, we are a community. Of course we work hard, we put our clients first, but we don’t forget to have fun along the way.

• Clients – We have an excellent client base, which means exciting properties and working for market leading clients. Our workload is split between investors and occupiers. We mainly work in the commercial sector, with some Public Sector instructions.
• Culture – It’s in our DNA – ask anyone at Cushman & Wakefield why they enjoy working there, and you’ll probably be told it’s the culture. It’s a fun and exciting firm to work for.
• Diverse workload – We do not silo individuals to work within particular service lines. We all work on all aspects of building surveying, though we do encourage individuals to specialise in areas that are of interest to them if they wish, for instance, dilapidations, technical due diligence, development monitoring, etc.
• Travel – Aside from the diverse spread across the UK, there are opportunities to carry out surveys in European countries other than the UK when projects become available.
• Career – Develop a career with a firm that ranks among the very best and with clear directions and opportunities for promotion.
• Rewards – The reward and opportunities available are second to none. Cushman & Wakefield recognises commitment, initiative, decision making ability and hard work and rewards accordingly.
