Location
London (flexible, hybrid working)

The Opportunity
A specialist project monitoring consultancy working closely with development lenders is seeking an experienced Project Monitoring Surveyor to support continued growth from its London base.
The business is instructed on complex, high-value lender-funded developments where reporting quality, professional judgement and credibility with funders are critical. Instructions are typically long-running in nature and frequently form part of multi-phase or strategic development programmes, providing a clear and visible pipeline of work.
This role is designed for an experienced Project Monitoring Surveyor seeking closer involvement in lender decision-making and risk advisory work. It will equally suit those already operating at this level and those who have built strong foundations on smaller or less complex schemes and are ready to take a step up in exposure and responsibility.

The Role
You will act as Project Monitor on lender-funded developments from initial due diligence through delivery, providing trusted, commercially focused advice to lenders and project teams.
This is a judgement-led role. You will be expected to challenge assumptions, identify and articulate risk clearly, and contribute directly to lender confidence throughout the lifecycle of a project. Support is available from a highly experienced peer group, allowing capable surveyors to scale up quickly and confidently.

Key Responsibilities
Acting as Project Monitor on lender-funded developments
Preparing clear, robust monitoring reports relied upon for credit and risk decisions
Advising lenders on development risk, cost, programme, procurement and delivery strategy
Engaging directly with lenders, developers, funders and professional teams
Monitoring compliance with funding conditions and professional appointments
Providing informed input on EPC, Building Safety Act considerations and construction risk
Managing a live portfolio of projects concurrently
Applying professional judgement rather than operating to a checklist-led model

Candidate Profile
Experience as a Project Monitoring Surveyor within development finance
Background from a recognised project monitoring or building consultancy
Candidates whose experience has been focused on smaller or less complex schemes will be considered, where there is clear technical ability and appetite to progress
Strong lender-facing report writing skills
Commercial mindset with the confidence to engage, question and advise
Candidates ready to step into an Associate Director-level role will be considered
Director-level candidates may also be considered where experience and capability support a broader remit
MRICS preferred

Why This Role
Exposure to lenders’ largest and most complex projects
Direct influence on lender confidence and policy-driven advice
Opportunity to broaden experience quickly and operate at a higher level
Opportunity to shape how the monitoring service is delivered and evolves as the business grows
Senior peer group with no junior management burden
Clear scope to build long-term influence within a growing, profitable consultancy
Clear pipeline of work and long-term project visibility

Bonus of .25%
With bonus total annual remuneration comfortably in excess of £100,000
Private healthcare
Professional fees paid
Fully flexible working arrangements
London office base with no mandated attendance requirement
