THE ROLE
Due to an expanding pipeline of Building Surveying instructions, and to facilitate growth in the department, my client is looking for a Chartered Building Surveyor to join the team. The ideal candidate will have a solid background in commercial building surveying, and will be experienced in the areas of Technical Due Diligence inspections.
