About the role
This is an exciting opportunity for a Building Surveyor to join the Corporate Surveying Team at NFU Mutual, where you’ll manage an occupied and leasehold occupational property portfolio across the UK (including Northern Ireland).
As an in-house Building Surveyor, you’ll oversee the management, development, and maintenance of our property portfolio of approximately 300 buildings, ensuring they meet business, contractual, and statutory requirements.
In this crucial role you’ll ensure our sites are equipped to meet the needs of all our employees and the NFU Mutual Agency Network across the UK. You’ll influence and advise stakeholders on the effective management of buildings, fixtures and services throughout the property lifecycle.
You’ll typically be required to travel to various locations once a week, but this could be more if you’re managing a particular project. To ensure that you can travel in comfort and at times convenient to you, we will provide a company car or car allowance.
This is a hybrid role with 30% homeworking and the remaining time split between our Tiddington Head Office just outside Stratford-Upon-Avon, and travel to sites across the UK as needed.

Your proactive approach helps you communicate effectively with stakeholders at all levels, and your ability to problem solve ensures you manage conflicting demands.
To join our team, you must also have:
4. Strong knowledge of building issues within commercial, office and retail environments
