About the Opportunity
This is a rare opportunity for a senior Building Surveying leader to step into a role with genuine influence, not just seniority.
A leading global multidisciplinary consultancy are expanding their Bristol Building Surveying offer and are looking for an Associate Director to help grow the team, develop client relationships and strengthen their regional presence across the South West and Wales. The role sits within a wider built environment consultancy business, giving you the platform of a major organisation with clear local ownership.
Working closely with the Head of Building Surveying and the regional practice, you would help deliver the business plan, win work and support major clients across healthcare, education, residential, defence, commercial, infrastructure and public sector portfolios.
The appeal is the balance of strategic input, client ownership and team leadership, while still remaining close to technical delivery and high-quality project work.
Responsibilities of the Role
This is a senior leadership role combining business development, client management, team leadership and technical oversight. Responsibilities are likely to include:
Winning work, generating repeat business and developing new client opportunities
Preparing proposals, tenders and fee submissions with a strong commercial lens
Leading key projects and acting as a trusted point of contact for major clients
Supporting regional strategy, workload planning, service quality and profitability
Collaborating with wider service lines to deliver joined-up multidisciplinary solutions
Managing, mentoring and developing Building Surveying team members
Providing technical guidance and senior-level client interface across the practice
About You
This will suit someone who has already built credibility in Building Surveying consultancy and now wants a role with more ownership, visibility and commercial influence. You will ideally bring:
MRICS or FRICS status with a relevant construction or Building Surveying background
A strong track record across Building Surveying consultancy services
Proven experience winning work, managing clients and developing accounts
Confidence leading projects from inception through to handover
Experience delivering project work and survey programmes across varied portfolios
The ability to manage, develop and motivate teams across multiple sites or work streams
Strong commercial awareness across fees, scope, contracts and profitability
First-class communication skills with senior clients and internal stakeholders
What's on Offer?
The main draw is ownership. You would have a meaningful role in shaping the Bristol offer, growing key client relationships and influencing the direction of the regional Building Surveying team, with the credibility, reach and resources of a major consultancy behind you.The package includes:
Up to £85,000 per annum plus benefits
Hybrid working and flexible holiday allowances
Tailored health, wellbeing, financial and lifestyle benefits
Ongoing training and senior-level development
A platform to grow your profile across Bristol, the South West and Wales
Ready?
If you are already operating at a senior level but want your next move to come with more ownership, stronger client influence and a clearer role in shaping a regional team, this is worth a conversation.
It offers the backing of a leading multidisciplinary consultancy, access to major public and private sector clients, and the chance to help grow a Bristol Building Surveying team with real momentum.
