About the Role

Location: Countrywide - Fully remote, covering a radius based patch from your local area

Are you a Chartered Building Surveyor (MRICS / FRICS) currently working in consultancy, commercial property, insurance or the public sector?

If you're looking for a better work-life balance, higher earning potential and the flexibility to work from home, now is the perfect time to move into the booming residential property sector.

With housing transactions continuing to drive demand for professional advice, residential surveying has never been busier. Every home purchase requires independent inspection and expert reporting on the condition of the property, often through Level 2 homebuyer Surveys and Level 3 Building Surveys carried out by qualified surveyors.

This role offers the chance to use your professional expertise in a high-demand market, with full autonomy and no requirement to commute to an office.

The Role

· You'll carry out a mix of:

· RICS Level 2 homebuyer Surveys

· RICS Level 3 Building Surveys

· Professional reports advising clients on property condition, defects and potential repairs

· Site inspections across your local area

Level 2 surveys provide a structured assessment of the condition of a property, while Level 3 surveys deliver a comprehensive inspection and detailed analysis of the building's structure and condition.

All administrative support, scheduling and report systems are provided so you can focus on surveying rather than paperwork.

Why now is the right time to make a move into Residential Surveying?

Fully remote working, no office commute

What We're Looking For

· MRICS or FRICS Chartered Building Surveyor

· Experience in building surveying (any sector considered)

· Strong report writing and inspection skills

· Desire to work in a flexible, autonomous role

Interested in a Change?

If you're a Chartered Surveyor feeling restricted by traditional consultancy environments, this is an opportunity to move into a modern, flexible and highly rewarding sector. Now is the time.

Join a business where you can earn more, work flexibly and focus on what you do best; surveying buildings.
