Job Description

Beach Baker is delighted to be partnering with a highly respected and ambitious property consultancy to appoint a Senior Valuation Surveyor who will play a key role in establishing and growing its new Bristol office.

This represents a rare opportunity to join a successful and expanding business at an exciting stage of its growth journey. Combining hands-on valuation work with business development and leadership responsibilities, the role offers the chance to build something meaningful whilst benefiting from the support, reputation and infrastructure of an established firm.

The Opportunity

This is far more than a traditional valuation position.

The successful candidate will be instrumental in developing the firm's presence across Bristol and the wider South West, with a clear mandate to help grow a broader General Practice offering over time.

You'll have the opportunity to:

  • Establish and develop the Bristol office
  • Become a key figure within the South West property market
  • Support the growth of a multi-disciplinary General Practice business
  • Influence strategy, service lines and client development
  • Work closely with senior leadership on regional expansion plans

For ambitious surveyors seeking greater autonomy, influence and long-term career progression, opportunities like this are few and far between.

Why Consider This Role?

  • Genuine opportunity to build and grow a new regional office
  • Clear pathway into a senior leadership position
  • Significant autonomy and decision-making responsibility
  • Strong support from an established and successful national business
  • Entrepreneurial culture without the risks of setting up independently
  • Excellent visibility and profile within the organisation
  • Opportunity to make a lasting impact on the future direction of the business

The Role

Reporting directly into senior leadership, responsibilities will include:

  • Delivering RICS Red Book-compliant valuations across commercial and mixed-use property
  • Undertaking inspections, market research and detailed due diligence
  • Providing strategic valuation and property advice to clients
  • Developing and strengthening client relationships across the South West
  • Supporting business development and winning new instructions
  • Contributing to the expansion of wider General Practice service lines
  • Working collaboratively with colleagues across the business
  • Mentoring and supporting future team members as the office grows

About You

The successful candidate is likely to possess:

  • MRICS qualification and RICS Registered Valuer status
  • Approximately 5+ years' post-qualification experience
  • A strong background in commercial valuation
  • Experience within private practice
  • Excellent client-facing and relationship-building skills
  • A commercial and entrepreneurial mindset
  • The ambition to move into a leadership role
  • A desire to help grow a successful regional business
  • Full UK driving licence

Who This Role Would Suit

This opportunity is particularly well suited to someone who:

  • Feels constrained within a larger corporate structure
  • Wants greater influence over their own career progression
  • Enjoys both valuation work and business development
  • Has aspirations to lead a team or office in the future
  • Is looking for the next significant step in their career

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Opportunities to build and grow a new office with the backing of an established consultancy are exceptionally rare.

This role offers the best of both worlds:

  • The reputation, security and client base of a successful and established business
  • The autonomy, visibility and entrepreneurial feel of a start-up environment

For the right individual, this is a genuine opportunity to shape a regional business and create a long-term leadership role in the South West.
