Building Surveyor

Location: Guildford – Field based, Full time, Permanent

About the role

We're looking for a hands-on, detail-driven Building Surveyor with strong experience in structural works, construction environments, and CDM compliance to join our growing field-based team. You'll carry out thorough, invasive feasibility surveys — assessing structural integrity, safety, and compliance — and produce accurate, high-quality documentation that ensures right-first-time homelift installations, every time.

Responsibilities

• Lead detailed, invasive building surveys to confirm installation feasibility for our homelifts
• Assess structural integrity and risk — including lifting floors, tracing M&E services, identifying deterioration, and escalating to a Structural Engineer when needed
• Produce clear, accurate technical outputs: sketches, floor plans, aperture measurements, structural notes, and survey reports
• Champion compliance and safety — completing RAMS, CDM documentation, Building Regulations requirements, ISO processes, and health and safety checks
• Drive right-first-time delivery by developing Bills of Materials (BOMs), defining work methods, ordering specialist materials, and collaborating with Building Control, engineers, and build teams

Requirements

• Proven experience in building, structural, or construction surveying — from asbestos, quantitative, new build, or refurbishment environments
• Carpentry or structural trades background (highly desirable) with the confidence to assess real-world build conditions
• Solid understanding of Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM) and Building Control, used daily on structural surveys within domestic properties
• IT confident and able to create precise, reliable technical documentation
• A problem-solver's mindset — able to assess complex structural challenges with precision and attention to detail
• Full UK driving licence — a company vehicle is provided

This is a field-based role involving regular travel, with occasional overnight stays required to meet business needs.

Benefits

• Competitive base salary + commission per survey – on-target earnings £48,732 OTE per annum
• Company vehicle + fuel card + tools + uniform
• 25 days holiday + 8 statutory bank holidays + 1 extra day off for your birthday
• Life assurance + critical illness cover
• Pension scheme
• Company bonus scheme
• Enhanced cash back health scheme + wellbeing support
• Employee referral scheme
• Employee discounts
• Cycle to work scheme
• Fully supported induction and ongoing training
