Career Opportunity

Agency Surveyor – Commercial Property

Take responsibility early. Build trusted client relationships. Grow your career with Burley Browne.

We are seeking an ambitious and motivated Commercial Agency Surveyor to join our fast paced and growing commercial agency team, based in Sutton Coldfield and operating across the wider West Midlands (and occasionally nationally).

At Burley Browne, we pride ourselves on offering more than just a role. Our growth and success is built on developing people, and our track record is demonstrated by a number of the current team having progressed their careers internally - taking on increased responsibility, developing client relationships and, in many cases, moving into senior roles within the firm.

This diverse and exciting role is ideal for a surveyor who is keen to take ownership of workstreams, gain regular client exposure, and play an active role within our agency department from the initial instruction through to completion.
________________________________________

About the Role

From the outset, you will be closely involved in a wide range of retail, office, industrial and investment agency instructions, working directly with clients, tenants and professional contacts. You will assist with inspections, marketing, negotiations, viewings and deal progression, with responsibility increasing as your experience and confidence develop.

You will manage instructions under the guidance of senior surveyors and directors, but within an environment that offers real trust, visibility and autonomy. The business structure encourages surveyors to build their own professional profile, take a lead on client relationships and play an active part in the continued growth of the agency team.

You will also be encouraged to contribute to new business development, attend client meetings and functions, developing the commercial awareness and confidence required for long term progression within the firm.

What We’re Looking For

•    Ideally MRICS (newly qualified) or working towards qualification.
•    At least 1 – 2 year experience in the commercial property market.
•    Experience or a strong interest in working with the commercial property agency.
•    A confident communicator keen to engage.
•    Proactive, organised and willing to take responsibility.
•    Motivated to progress within a growing and supportive consultancy.
________________________________________

What We Offer

•    Early and meaningful client contact, not a purely support based role.
•    An environment that genuinely encourages responsibility and professional development.
•    Clear and achievable career progression, evidenced by the progression of current team members.
•    Access to a variety of modern agency tools, including drone camera and virtual tour technology.
•    A collaborative and approachable senior team with strong mentoring.
•    A full time role based in our Sutton Coldfield office, covering the wider West Midlands and beyond.

This is an excellent opportunity for a surveyor who wants more than a desk based role—offering responsibility, exposure and the chance to build a long term career with an established and respected regional consultancy.
