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

Bristol or anywhere in the South West (fully remote, home-based)

The Opportunity

A specialist project monitoring consultancy operating at the top end of the development finance market is expanding its senior capability across the South West.

The region includes a concentration of high-value, lender-funded developments, many of which are long-term, multi-phase schemes with extended delivery horizons. Reporting quality, professional judgement and credibility with funders sit at the core of these instructions, which are typically strategic in nature rather than transactional.

This role is intended for an experienced Project Monitoring Surveyor seeking autonomy, regional ownership and deeper involvement in lender-led decision making. It will suit those already operating at this level, as well as senior surveyors with the technical strength and ambition to step into a broader Associate Director remit.

The Role

You will act as Project Monitor on lender-funded developments across the South West from initial due diligence through delivery, providing clear, commercially grounded advice to lenders and project teams.

This is a judgement-led position. You’ll be expected to interrogate proposals, assess and articulate risk, and support lender confidence throughout the lifecycle of each scheme. The wider senior team provides depth of experience and support, allowing you to operate independently while continuing to broaden exposure to complex projects.

Key Responsibilities

Acting as Project Monitor on lender-funded developments across the South West

Producing robust, lender-facing monitoring reports used to inform credit and risk decisions

Advising on development risk, cost, programme, procurement strategy and delivery approach

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 within a checklist-led or process-driven framework

Candidate Profile

Proven experience as a Project Monitoring Surveyor within development finance

Background from a recognised project monitoring or building consultancy

Comfortable operating on mid-to-large scale developments and complex funding structures

Strong report writing skills with a clear, lender-focused style

Commercial mindset with the confidence to challenge assumptions and advise senior stakeholders

Ability to work autonomously in a fully remote, regionally focused role

Senior candidates ready to step into an Associate Director-level position 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 some of the South West’s most significant lender-backed developments

Direct influence on lender confidence and long-term project delivery

Opportunity to take ownership of a strategically important regional portfolio

Senior peer group with no junior management burden

Clear scope to build long-term influence within a growing, profitable consultancy

Strong pipeline of work with long-term project visibility

Package

Base salary aligned to Associate Director level, typically around £85,000 (flexible depending on experience and seniority)

Bonus of c.25%

Total annual remuneration comfortably in excess of £100,000

Private healthcare

Professional fees paid

Fully flexible, home-based working arrangements

No mandated office attendance

Ways of Working

This is a fully remote, home-based role. Day-to-day work is focused on site inspections across the South West and report production from home. Occasional travel for team meetings is required, but there is no expectation of regular office attendance. The working model is built on trust, experience and accountability rather than presenteeism.
