Ready for your next step? Your next role doesn’t have to be the same as your current one.
At Vickery Holman, we’re looking for talented Building Surveyors to help develop our business across the South West.
We’re deliberately keeping an open mind about the level of appointment. Whether you’re newly qualified, an experienced Surveyor, an Associate, Senior Associate or an aspiring Director, we’d be interested in talking if your experience, abilities and ambitions align with ours.
You don’t need to be doing the job already to be considered for the next level.
If you believe you’re ready for greater responsibility, more autonomy or the opportunity to help shape a successful surveying business, we want to hear from you.
The opportunity
Vickery Holman is an established, independent multidisciplinary property consultancy with a strong presence across the South West.
Our Building Surveying team undertakes a varied range of predominantly commercial property work, including building surveys, dilapidations, schedules of condition, planned maintenance, project monitoring, contract administration and other professional surveying instructions.
We are not looking for someone who can do everything. We are looking for people whose expertise fits the type of work we undertake, who deliver sound professional advice and who are motivated to develop their careers and our business.
You’ll benefit from an established client base, opportunities arising from colleagues across our property disciplines and the freedom to build your own professional relationships.
Your career, your contribution
The position and responsibilities will be shaped around the successful candidate.
For someone earlier in their career, that could mean the opportunity to broaden their experience, take greater ownership of instructions and progress professionally.
For an experienced Surveyor or Associate, it could mean stepping into a more senior role, developing client relationships and taking greater commercial responsibility.
For a Senior Associate or Director-level candidate, it could mean helping to lead, grow and influence our Building Surveying business.
Whatever your level, we want people who are technically capable, commercially aware, good with clients and motivated to contribute to the wider firm.
What matters to us
• Relevant practical experience in building surveying work that fits VH’s business.
• The ability to deliver professionally at the level of appointment.
• Sound judgement, commercial awareness and a commitment to client service.
• An interest in building relationships and generating opportunities.
• A proactive, collaborative approach.
• The ambition to develop your career and contribute to VH’s success.
MRICS is welcome but not essential. We are more interested in what you can do, how you work and what you could achieve with us.
Nor do you need to bring an established client following. We do, however, value the ability and enthusiasm to develop business over time.
What we can offer
• A choice of office base in Exeter, Bristol or Plymouth.
• A varied, predominantly commercial building surveying workload.
• Opportunities arising from an established multidisciplinary consultancy.
• Genuine scope for career progression and increased responsibility.
• The opportunity to influence the development of your own role and the wider business.
• A remuneration package appropriate to the responsibilities, experience and contribution of the successful candidate.
Think you’re ready for more?
You may be happy where you are but feel your career could progress faster elsewhere. Or perhaps you’re looking for a different environment in which your abilities and ideas will be recognised.
Either way, we’d welcome a confidential conversation.
