Senior Property Surveyor

PROPERTY SURVEYOR – JOIN A TEAM SHAPING THE FUTURE OF MEASUREMENT

Plowman Craven’s Property team continues to grow, and we are looking for a Senior Surveyor to play a key role in delivering high-quality survey work across a wide range of property and built environment projects.

This role is well suited to either an experienced Surveyor ready to take the next step, or an established Senior Surveyor looking to develop their career in a modern, forward-thinking business. You will work on technically varied projects, take greater ownership of delivery, and support the development of others within the team.

More about the opportunity:

As a Senior Surveyor, you will be trusted to plan and deliver survey work across all stages of the “RIBA Plan of Work”. You will combine hands-on site work with technical oversight, quality assurance and coordination with project teams.

You will be part of a collaborative and supportive environment where innovation, accuracy and professional development are valued. This is a role that offers progression, responsibility and the chance to build a long-term career within a growing organisation.

What does your day-to-day look like?

• Delivering complex survey projects from planning through to final issue
• Selecting appropriate survey methodologies and equipment to suit each site
• Carrying out and overseeing site surveys including laser scanning, GNSS and control networks
• Processing, analysing and validating survey data to produce accurate CAD drawings, point clouds and reports
• Reviewing and signing off survey deliverables before issue to the wider delivery team
• Identifying site constraints, risks and access issues, and proposing practical survey solutions
• Working closely with Project Managers and Lead Surveyors to clarify briefs and manage expectations
• Supporting project planning, programming and resource allocation
• Providing guidance and mentoring to Surveyors and Junior Surveyors
• Contributing to the development of survey standards, workflows and best practice
• Representing Plowman Craven professionally on site and in client interactions

What do you actually get?

• The stability and long-term outlook of a partially employee-owned business
• A supportive, collaborative team environment
• Investment in training, development and leadership capability
• Opportunities to progress as the business continues to grow
• Competitive salary with performance-related bonus
• Generous annual leave allowance
• Company laptop and mobile phone
• Hybrid working, with access to Harpenden and London offices
• A wellbeing and social events programme

What you bring to the party:

This role is aimed at survey professionals who want more responsibility, broader exposure and a clear progression path.

What we are looking for:

• Solid experience in measured building, topographical and laser scanning surveys
• Confidence working independently on site and taking ownership of survey delivery
• Strong technical capability using modern survey equipment and processing software
• A structured, organised approach when working under time pressure
• Good communication skills with clients, project teams and colleagues
• An interest in developing others and sharing technical knowledge
• A proactive mindset and interest in new technology and improved ways of working
• Flexibility around travel and working hours
• A full UK driving licence and the right to work in the UK
• Experience with mobile mapping systems or advanced processing software is useful, but not essential. What matters most is your attitude, technical foundation and readiness to take the next step.
