Building Surveyor - Graduate / APC Level

Manchester | Design-Led Consultancy | £30 - 40k depending on experience and APC progress.

Vertical Recruitment are working with a multidisciplinary architectural and building consultancy in Manchester who are looking to appoint a Building Surveyor at Graduate / APC level.

This is a project-led opportunity within a design-focused environment, offering exposure to refurbishment and compliance-led schemes across education, public sector and commercial sectors.

About the Company

Our client is a well-established architectural and building consultancy practice with a strong presence in the North West. The Manchester office is particularly active across education frameworks, delivering refurbishment and capital works projects for schools and academy trusts.

This position will provide exposure to:

• Supporting contract administration and project delivery

• Preparing specifications and tender documentation

• Undertaking condition surveys and defect analysis

• Assisting with statutory submissions

• Attending site meetings and client meetings

• Working closely with architects on refurbishment schemes

This role would suit a Building Surveyor with circa 1–3 years’ experience who is looking to develop within a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment while progressing toward chartership.

What They Are Looking For

• A Building Surveying degree

• 1-3 years’ UK-based experience

• Interest in project-led work and design coordination

• Strong communication skills and willingness to learn

• Desire to progress through APC
