A successful London property consultancy is looking for a commercially astute Director to lead a pod of 5-6 people within their projects team. The work is predominantly landlord-oriented: office refurbishments up to £15m, recarbonisation projects, large facade remediation, PV installations and working alongside property management teams on high-quality commercial buildings.

This is not just a project delivery role. You'll be expected to spot the project opportunity within a client relationship, shape the brief, procure and deliver, and earn fees while doing it. It's also not just a desk role. Directors spend a good proportion of time fee earning, staying hands-on with inspections and maintaining market knowledge.

Duties of the Director to include:

  • Running a pod of 5-6 surveyors, directing and reviewing their output
  • Identifying and winning project opportunities from existing client relationships
  • Delivering landlord-oriented refurbishment and improvement projects (£50k to £15m+)
  • Overseeing recarbonisation, facade remediation and PV installation projects
  • Fee earning through inspections, reports and project management
  • Collaborating with property management teams on major commercial assets
  • Cross-selling across the wider consultancy platform

The Person?

A commercially sharp project leader who can extract opportunity from client conversations and deliver complex landlord projects.

The Director will have:

  • MRICS qualification with strong post-qualification experience
  • Proven track record managing and delivering commercial refurbishment projects
  • Ability to identify, shape and win project work from existing relationships
  • Experience managing a small team
  • Commercial office sector experience (desirable)
  • Recarbonisation or sustainability project experience (desirable)

In Return………?

  • Remuneration package worth £100,000 - £120,000+
  • Private healthcare
  • Family benefits
  • Generous holiday allowance
  • Charitable leave and fundraising opportunities

If you believe you can deliver this rewarding role to a high standard, or are a Building Surveyor considering your next career move, please contact Stuart Miller at Brandon James on .
