We're looking for an ambitious MRICS or AssocRICS Surveyor to join our specialist residential electricity infrastructure, compulsory purchase and land compensation team. You'll manage your own caseload from first inspection through to settlement, acting as the main surveying lead for clients and helping shape a growing, high‑value workstream.

This role suits someone who enjoys autonomy, commercial thinking and building strong client relationships - and who wants to grow beyond day‑to‑day casework into service development, complex compensation matters and future team leadership.

• Manage residential easement, land rights and compensation cases end‑to‑end

• Carry out inspections and prepare professional submissions and reports

• Negotiate offers, settlements and compensation outcomes

• Provide clear technical advice to clients and resolve case issues

• Build strong relationships with clients, network operators and partners

• Support business development, identify new opportunities and help diversify the workstream

Essential

• MRICS or AssocRICS

• 5+ years' post‑qualification experience

• Residential surveying or compulsory purchase background

• Strong inspection and reporting skills

• Confident client communicator

• Organised, proactive and able to manage a caseload independently

• Commercially aware and comfortable growing client relationships

Desirable

• Valuation experience

• Development appraisal or development impact knowledge

• HomeBuyer Report experience

• Understanding of utilities, infrastructure, wayleaves or easements

• Experience mentoring junior surveyors / APC support

This role is designed for someone who wants to build a workstream, not just manage one.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Grow the residential EHV service

• Support expansion into non‑residential infrastructure work

• Take on more complex, higher‑value cases

• Help shape new services and routes to market

• Mentor junior surveyors and support recruitment

• Progress towards team leadership and long‑term director potential

• Entrepreneurial, commercially minded and proactive

• Comfortable taking ownership and accountability

• Keen to help shape a growing specialist practice

• Collaborative and supportive within a small, dynamic team
