ABOUT US
Adair is an independent multidisciplinary property and construction consultancy providing Building Surveying, Quantity Surveying, Project Management, Project Monitoring and Dispute Resolution services across the UK and internationally.
We are known for delivering high-quality, commercially focused advice across a diverse portfolio of prestigious and complex projects.
THE OPPORTUNITY
We are looking for an ambitious Associate Director to help establish and grow our permanent Building Surveying team in Covent Garden.
This could suit an existing Associate or Associate Director, or a strong Senior Building Surveyor ready to step into a more senior and influential position.
Working closely with the Head of Building Surveying, you will deliver a broad range of instructions, develop client relationships and play a central role in shaping the London team as it grows.
Rather than joining a large, established hierarchy, you will have the opportunity to make a visible impact, help recruit future team members and influence the development of the service.
THE ROLE
You will work across prime and super-prime residential, commercial, retail, theatre and public-sector properties, mainly in London and the South East.
You will have the freedom to combine technical delivery with client development and team leadership, rather than being confined to a narrow specialism or purely fee-earning role.
Responsibilities will include:
  * 
    Delivering professional and project Building Surveying instructions.
  * 
    Developing existing clients and generating new business.
  * 
    Preparing fee proposals and acting as a key fee earner.
  * 
    Undertaking building surveys and defect diagnosis.
  * 
    Providing contract administration services.
  * 
    Preparing specifications, tender documents and contract documentation.
  * 
    Advising on dilapidations and Party Wall matters.
  * 
    Preparing licences to alter and monitoring works.
  * 
    Supporting expert-witness matters.
  * 
    Mentoring junior surveyors and supporting APC candidates.
  * 
    Helping to recruit and develop the London team.
The role requires a strong all-round Building Surveyor rather than someone focused on a single specialism.
ABOUT YOU
You should be:
  * 
    MRICS qualified with an RICS-accredited Building Surveying degree.
  * 
    Experienced across a broad range of Building Surveying services.
  * 
    Commercially aware and comfortable with clients and business development.
  * 
    Able to lead instructions and support junior colleagues.
  * 
    Proactive, personable and highly organised.
You will enjoy taking ownership, building relationships and contributing beyond the delivery of individual projects.
What we offer
  * 
    £75,000–£90,000, depending on experience.
  * 
    Bonus, private healthcare and pension.
  * 
    Life insurance and critical illness cover.
  * 
    A key role in building Adair’s permanent London Building Surveying team.
  * 
    The opportunity to shape a growing team while working on varied, high-quality instructions.
