Overview
We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Surveyor to join our Infrastructure team, playing a key role in delivering projects that shape communities and drive long‑term change.
This is a varied and rewarding role where you will advise clients on complex infrastructure schemes across transport, regeneration and energy sectors. You will be involved in the full project lifecycle, providing strategic and practical property advice while supporting landowners, local authorities and developers.
Alongside delivering high‑quality client work, you will also contribute to the growth of the business, mentor junior team members and help drive best practice across the team.
You will be joining a collaborative and forward‑thinking team, with the opportunity to work on high‑profile projects and build trusted client relationships. This role offers the chance for someone looking to take the next step in their career, combining technical expertise, client engagement and leadership.
The role will be based out of our West Malling office; however, due to the nature of the portfolio, you will be required to travel. We offer a highly competitive salary and benefits package, along with flexible and agile working options to support your work‑life balance.
