Graduate Building Surveyor

Graduate Building Surveyor

Manchester

£35,000 – £40,000

We’re working with an established, nationwide independent property consultancy, currently looking to add a Graduate Building Surveyor (1–2 years' experience) to their Manchester office.

This is a great opportunity for someone who’s ready to take the next step in their career, gain exposure to a wide range of sectors, and benefit from strong support on the path to becoming chartered. The business has built a reputation for delivering high-quality consultancy services across building surveying, commercial property, planning, and residential, and is particularly known for its investment in graduate development.

The role

You’ll be working alongside a team of experienced Building Surveyors, supporting clients across a range of sectors including retail, industrial, residential, healthcare, education, and commercial. As part of your day-to-day, you’ll be involved in:

- Preparing and managing schedules of condition and dilapidations

- Assisting with contract administration and project management

- Supporting building surveys and defect analysis

- Carrying out planned maintenance programmes

- Contributing to professional reports and client advice

- Working closely with senior colleagues to gain structured APC guidance and feedback

- You’ll be given the opportunity to get involved in both project and professional work, helping you build a broad skill set while progressing toward chartership.

What We’re Looking For

- Have 1–2 years' experience in building surveying, ideally within a private sector consultancy

- Hold a RICS-accredited degree in Building Surveying

- Be enrolled on, or looking to start, the APC pathway toward MRICS

- Show a strong interest in developing their career in a client-facing role

- Be proactive, organised, and keen to take ownership of their development

- Have excellent written and verbal communication skills

This role is particularly well-suited to a graduate who’s feeling a little stuck or unsupported in their current position and is looking for more structure, better mentorship, and real opportunity to grow within a stable and respected independent firm.

If you’re looking for the right environment to develop your skills, broaden your sector exposure, and finally get the APC support you need, this could be the move that gets you chartered.
