Plenty of Graduate Building Surveyors sit their APC final assessment with a diary full of Level 2 and very little at Level 3. That wouldn't be the case here. A Graduate Building Surveyor joining this Birmingham team gets the complete spread of building surveying work, so the Level 3 experience the RICS asks for comes through day-to-day instructions.

The firm is an established multi-sector consultancy offering a full building consultancy service, with clients from local owners through to national organisations. Workflow has stayed steady and the building surveying department is growing, which is behind this hire. There's a structured RICS graduate support programme in place. The firm expects its graduates to work towards Chartered status and backs them to get there.

The Graduate Building Surveyor Role

  • Inspecting buildings and recording condition, defects and likely causes, with support from chartered colleagues
  • Writing survey reports and other client advice
  • Helping prepare specifications, schedules of works and tender packages
  • Supporting contract administration, including site visits and progress records
  • Checking statutory and regulatory requirements relevant to each instruction
  • Liaising with clients, contractors and colleagues across the consultancy
  • Keeping your APC diary and case study material up to date
