Job Description

Building Surveyor or Quantity Surveyor – Move into Project Monitoring

I’m working on an opportunity with a specialist development monitoring consultancy that is continuing to grow its presence across the North of England. This is a well-established business with a strong pipeline of lender instructions and a clear long-term direction.

This role is ideal for a Building Surveyor, Quantity Surveyor, or Project Manager who wants to move into project monitoring. If you understand how projects are delivered, how costs behave, and where risk sits, this is a natural next step.

The Role

You’ll step into a Monitoring Surveyor position, working across a varied portfolio of lender-funded developments.

Projects are predominantly residential-led, alongside hotels and commercial schemes. Values typically range from £500k to £50m, spread across the North West and Yorkshire.

Your responsibilities will include:

Producing monitoring reports for lender clients
Undertaking site visits and assessing progress
Reviewing cost plans, programmes, and appraisals
Reporting on risk, cashflow, and drawdown requests
Monitoring compliance with loan conditions
Advising funders with clear, commercially focused insight
You’ll manage your own workload with a high degree of autonomy, supported by an experienced national team.

Why Move into Monitoring?

Monitoring gives you a broader, more strategic view of projects.

You’re not delivering one scheme at a time. You’re advising on multiple developments, working with lenders, and focusing on risk, viability, and commercial performance.

It’s a shift away from delivery into advisory—while still using your technical and commercial knowledge every day.

About the Opportunity

This role offers significant flexibility in how you work, with a mix of home working, site visits, and time in the office where needed. You’ll have the trust to manage your own diary while remaining connected to the wider team.

The business works with a broad panel of lenders, including major high street banks and specialist funders, giving you consistent exposure to a wide range of developments.

There is a strong pipeline of work and a clear need for additional monitoring capability.

About You

I’m looking for someone with a solid grounding in construction and project delivery.

You could be:

A Building Surveyor
A Quantity Surveyor
A Project Manager
You may already have some exposure to monitoring, or you may be looking to specialise in this area for the first time.

You’ll ideally be MRICS or working towards it.

You’ll also bring:

Strong report writing and communication skills
Commercial awareness and attention to detail
The ability to work independently
Confidence dealing with clients and professional teams
Salary & Benefits

£55,000 – £65,000 as a guide for Senior level (flexible for the right person)
Bonus typically £5,000 – £10,000 based on company profit and individual performance
28 days annual leave + bank holidays
Pension
Flexible working model with strong autonomy
Progression

This is a business where monitoring is the core service, not a side offering.

You’ll gain exposure to a wide range of funders and development types, with a clear path to progress as you build your experience. The structure supports growth from Surveyor through to Associate Director level.

Working Environment

The team is collaborative, experienced, and well connected nationally. The culture is built on trust, output, and professional delivery rather than presenteeism.

You can be based anywhere across the North West or Yorkshire, provided you can access sites.
