Join Great North Building Consultancy
What do you want from your career?
- More responsibility?
- More variety?
- More impact?
- More control over your future?
At Great North Building Consultancy, we believe your career should be intentional — not accidental.
You won’t find empty phrases here. We won’t try to impress you with buzzwords. What we offer is straightforward: meaningful work, professional development, and the opportunity to help shape a growing consultancy.
- Meaningful work.
- Helping to diagnose a dampness issue that’s plagued a family household has a massive positive impact on people’s lives.
- Professional development.
- Whether AssocRICS, MRICS or FRICS, if you have a direction you want your work to development in to, we can help that happen. And
- Building something long-term.
- Buildings typically last multiple generations, so the business can serve people who are the custodians of them for years to come.
Who We Are?
We are a specialist building consultancy delivering:
- Residential surveys
- Defect investigation
- Expert witness work
- Professional advice clients rely on
Our work is detailed, analytical and often critical to the decisions our clients make. We enjoy finding answers to complex problems and delivering reports that are clear, robust and defensible.
Quality matters to us. So does integrity.
We’re the building surveyors people call when further investigation is needed.
Why Join a Small Consultancy?
In a large firm, you can become a number. Here, you won’t.
As a small and growing practice:
- You will have direct access to leadership.
- You will see how the business operates — not just your corner of it.
- You will take real responsibility for your work.
- You will have the opportunity to influence direction.
- If you want to develop technically, we will support that.
- If you want to grow into leadership, there is room.
- If you want to specialise, we will help you build that expertise.
Progression is not and does not need to be one directional.
If you’re an experienced, time-served surveyor looking for pivot or change direction, we can support.
Your progression will not be dictated by layers of hierarchy. It will be shaped by your capability, ambition and contribution.
The Culture
We take the work seriously — not ourselves.
We value:
- Clear thinking
- Professional standards
- Accountability
- Curiosity
- Doing the job properly
Bring your whole self to work.
If you are a doer, you will be busy.
If you are analytical, you will be challenged.
If you are ambitious, you will have space to grow.
We want people who take pride in producing work they would confidently defend.
Who We’re Looking For
We are interested in building and residential surveyors (AssocRICS, MRICS and FRICS) who:
- Care about quality over volume
- Think independently
- Communicate clearly
- Want to keep improving
- Value a positive, professional culture
Experience is important — but mindset matters more.
A Different Conversation
If you are exploring your next move, let’s talk.
Not just about a vacancy — but about where you want to go and how that aligns with the future of the business.
We are building something long-term. If that interests you, we would welcome a conversation.
Because the most important part of your career is you.
