Building Surveying Associate / Associate Director Lead a service line. Shape a region. Step toward the board.

This is a rare chance to take real ownership, not just another senior title.

I am representing a long established, multidisciplinary property consultancy with a strong reputation across the North West. The business is partner led, people first, and built on long term client relationships rather than churn. They are quietly investing in their Chester office and are now looking for a senior Building Surveyor to lead, grow and shape the local Building Surveying function.

This is a career defining move for someone who wants influence, visibility and a genuine route to equity.

What you will be doing • Leading and developing the Building Surveying team in Chester • Managing and growing a loyal, high quality client base • Delivering and overseeing projects from brief through to completion • Winning work, contributing to bids and shaping service line growth • Working closely with directors on fees, forecasting and strategy

What they are looking for • Chartered Building Surveyor MRICS • Proven experience managing clients and winning work • Comfortable leading people and being the senior presence in a team • Strong project delivery background across repairs, refurbishments or alterations • Ambition to move beyond delivery into leadership and ownership

Package and benefits • Salary guide £60,000 to £75,000 plus flexibility for the right person • Company car, private healthcare, laptop and mobile • Stable workload with blue chip and public sector clients • Supportive, low churn culture with visible and approachable leadership

Why this role will excite you • You will lead, not follow • You will have a credible route to board and equity • You will shape a service line rather than inherit problems • You will work in a business that promotes from within • You will have real autonomy with backing at senior level
