We're Hiring | Building Surveyors – Graduate to Director

Birmingham | Bristol | Exeter | Truro | UK-wide Projects

Join Venant. Shape your career. Help shape our future.

Venant is an ambitious, independent commercial building consultancy with national reach. As our business continues to grow, we are looking to welcome talented Building Surveyors at all levels of experience – from Graduate Building Surveyors embarking on their professional careers through to experienced Chartered Surveyors, Associates and Directors.

With established offices in Birmingham, Bristol, Exeter and Truro, we deliver building consultancy services to clients across England and Wales, working with corporate occupiers, investors, asset managers, landlords and developers.

Our work spans a varied portfolio of commercial property instructions, including:

• Commercial dilapidations and lease advisory.
• Acquisition and vendor building surveys.
• Project management and commercial refurbishment.
• Insurance reinstatement cost assessments.
• Technical due diligence and building condition assessments.
• Wider commercial building consultancy and professional advisory services.

A career built around you

At Venant, we recognise that career ambitions, experience and professional aspirations differ from person to person.

That's why we are keen to offer bespoke career development and growth packages, tailored around the individual rather than simply fitting someone into a predefined job description.

Whether you are a graduate looking for structured APC support and a clear route to becoming Chartered, an experienced surveyor seeking greater responsibility and autonomy, or an established Director looking for an opportunity to influence and grow a business, we want to hear from you.

Depending on your experience and ambitions, we can offer opportunities to:

• Develop a personalised career progression plan with clear objectives and milestones.
• Receive structured professional development, mentoring and APC support from our in-house APC Assessor.
• Develop specialist expertise across our core service lines.
• Take ownership of client relationships, instructions and project delivery.
• Build and lead teams, develop new service offerings and contribute to business strategy.
• Play an active role in developing and expanding Venant's national presence.
• Progress into senior leadership and potentially equity participation, where appropriate.

Who are we looking for?

We are interested in hearing from individuals across all stages of their building surveying careers.

Graduate Building Surveyors

Enthusiastic individuals looking to establish their careers within a supportive, commercially focused consultancy, with structured training and a clear pathway towards chartership, supposed by our in-house APC Assessor.

Chartered Building Surveyors

Professionals looking for greater exposure, responsibility and variety, with the opportunity to develop their technical expertise and client relationships.

Senior Surveyors and Associates

Experienced individuals capable of managing instructions, developing client relationships and taking a leading role in project delivery and team development.

Directors

Established professionals with the experience, commercial acumen and ambition to help drive the next stage of Venant's growth, potentially developing an office, service line or regional presence.

Why Venant?

We are a growing consultancy with the ambition to establish an increasingly significant national presence.

We believe in providing high-quality, independent advice, developing long-term client relationships and delivering commercially focused outcomes.

As a director-led business, we offer direct access to decision-makers, a collaborative working environment and the opportunity to make a genuine contribution to the direction of the company.

Importantly, we want people to grow with us. We are not simply looking to recruit individuals to fill existing positions; we want to identify talented people whose ambitions align with ours and create the right opportunities for them to succeed.

Location and geographical coverage

The successful candidate will be associated with one of our four established offices:

• Birmingham
• Bristol
• Exeter
• Truro

We work on a hybrid basis, with our instructions and client base extending across the UK, so the role will involve national travel and exposure to projects in a variety of locations and sectors.

Interested in joining us?

If you are ambitious, commercially minded and passionate about building surveying, we would welcome an informal and confidential conversation.

We are flexible on experience, seniority and role structure. Most importantly, we want to understand what you want from your next career move and explore how Venant can help you achieve it.

Your career. Your ambitions. Our next chapter.
