Senior Building Surveyor, Fulkers Bailey Russell, GB

We are looking for an experienced and forward-thinking Senior Building Surveyor to join our dynamic and driven construction consultancy. Work on an exciting range of dynamic projects across a varied range of sectors including healthcare, blue light, local government and education.

Why Fulkers Bailey Russell?

At Fulkers Bailey Russell, we’re not just about delivering projects — we’re a construction consultancy that is focused on making a positive impact. We deliver exceptional consultancy services, champion sustainability and most importantly, empower and prioritise our people.

As a proud B Corp, we’re committed to high standards of social and environmental performance. We’re big enough to lead complex, high-profile projects, yet small enough to genuinely support and care for our employees – our 'Fulkers people'.

As a Senior Building Surveyor, you’ll be autonomously leading and managing projects from inception to completion, without supervision and with minimal guidance from line management. The role involves working collaboratively with a varied team of construction professionals and stakeholders to allow projects, professional services and tasks to be delivered safely on time, and to budget whilst ensuring high levels of client satisfaction. Work on a hybrid basis from either our London, Kent or Brighton offices.
