As part of our continued growth, we are seeking an experienced engineering surveyor to join our team at PCA. The successful candidate will be commercially minded and will have excellent customer interaction skills.

You will hold a relevant qualification, preferably RICS or working towards membership, but more importantly you will be enthusiastic, self-motivated, well-organised and methodical. Knowledge of the beautiful area in which we work would be an advantage too, but is not essential.

You will support the work of our consulting engineering team by compiling building and engineering surveys, carrying out contract administration, preparing specifications and carrying out party wall surveys.

In short, you will be an intrinsic part of our team.

Your salary will be dependent on your experience and will come with a decent holiday package. While you will clearly spend time on site, a blend of office and home working will be considered for the right candidate.
