Job Title
Project Monitoring Surveyor
Level
Associate Director(Senior candidates ready to step up will be considered; Director-level appointments may also be considered with scope and remuneration aligned accordingly)
Location
Birmingham or anywhere in the Midlands (fully remote, home-based)
The Opportunity
A specialist project monitoring consultancy operating at the senior end of the development finance market is expanding its regional capability across the Midlands.
The workload is focused on lender-funded developments of scale, including complex, long-term and multi-phase schemes where professional judgement, clarity of advice and credibility with funders are critical. Instructions are typically strategic in nature rather than transactional, providing strong visibility of work and sustained involvement on major projects.
This role is suited to an experienced Project Monitoring Surveyor seeking a home-based position with genuine regional ownership and meaningful input into lender decision-making. It will suit those already operating at Associate Director level, as well as senior surveyors ready to step up into a broader, more influential remit.
The Role
You will act as Project Monitor on lender-funded developments across the Midlands, from initial due diligence through delivery, providing clear, commercially focused advice to lenders and project teams.
This is a judgement-led role. You’ll be expected to interrogate proposals, identify and articulate risk, and support lender confidence throughout the lifecycle of each project. You’ll operate with autonomy, supported by an experienced senior peer group rather than a leveraged, junior-heavy structure.
Key Responsibilities
Acting as Project Monitor on lender-funded developments across the Midlands
Producing 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 considerations, Building Safety Act requirements and construction risk
Managing a live portfolio of projects, including long-term and multi-phase schemes
Applying professional judgement rather than operating to a checklist-led or process-driven model
Candidate Profile
Proven experience as a Project Monitoring Surveyor within development finance
Background from a recognised project monitoring or building consultancy
Comfort operating on mid-to-large scale developments and complex funding structures
Strong lender-facing report writing skills
Commercial mindset with the confidence to challenge assumptions and advise senior stakeholders
Ability to work autonomously in a fully remote, regionally focused role
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
