Job Description

Are you a driven Building Surveyor ready for a new challenge in the Channel Islands?

This opportunity offers the chance to join a supportive, high‑performing property team with roles available in both Guernsey and Jersey. Relocation support is available for the right candidate.

You’ll deliver a broad range of professional building surveying services across dilapidations, technical due diligence, defect diagnosis, refurbishment projects, and contract administration. This is an excellent progression step for a technically strong surveyor who enjoys varied, client‑facing work and wants to deepen their expertise across commercial assets.

Responsibilities will include:

  • Delivering full-spectrum building surveying reports and professional advice across commercial properties
  • Leading refurbishment, maintenance, and fit‑out projects as Contract Administrator (JCT)
  • Carrying out technical due diligence and defect diagnosis
  • Preparing and negotiating schedules of dilapidations and condition
  • Working closely with cross‑island and UK teams to ensure exceptional client service
  • Building strong relationships with landlords, tenants, and internal stakeholders to drive repeat business

Requirements:

  • Relevant degree in Building Surveying or a related discipline
  • MRICS qualified
  • Strong technical understanding of building pathology and construction
  • Excellent report‑writing, communication, and client‑management skills
  • Full driving licence and willingness to travel off‑island when required

On offer:

  • The chance to join a market leader of global scale — known for stability, investment in people, and long-term career development
  • Highly competitive market salary and benefits package
  • Diverse, interesting work with travel opportunities across the Channel Islands
  • A friendly team culture within a well‑resourced, well‑supported environment

A lifestyle upgrade, not just a relocation

Moving to the Channel Islands is one of those rare decisions that genuinely improves both your career and your day‑to‑day life.

Imagine:

  • Shorter commutes
  • Lower personal taxes
  • A healthier work–life balance
  • A highly professional, well‑regulated financial environment
  • Beautiful coastlines on your doorstep
  • Safe, friendly communities
  • A strong sense of belonging

With all this in mind, the move quickly starts to feel less like relocating — and more like upgrading your lifestyle.

If you’re ready for a change that genuinely delivers, the Channel Islands are well worth considering.
