Monitoring Surveyor – Manchester / North West & Yorkshire


I’m working on an opportunity with a specialist development monitoring consultancy that is continuing to grow its presence across the North of England. This is a well-established business with a strong pipeline of lender instructions and a clear long-term direction.
If you’re already working in monitoring, or you’re a Building Surveyor or Quantity Surveyor or Project Manager looking to specialise, this is a role that offers both autonomy and progression.
The Role
You’ll act as a Monitoring Surveyor across a varied portfolio of lender-funded developments.
Projects are predominantly residential-led, alongside hotels and commercial schemes. Values typically range from £500k to £50m, spread across the North West and Yorkshire.
Your responsibilities will include:
*Producing monitoring reports for lender clients
*Undertaking site visits and assessing progress
*Reviewing cost plans, programmes, and appraisals
*Reporting on risk, cashflow, and drawdown requests
*Monitoring compliance with loan conditions
*Advising funders with clear, commercially focused insight
You’ll manage your own workload and be largely home based with a high degree of autonomy, supported by an experienced national team.


About the Opportunity
This role offers significant flexibility in how you work, with a mix of home working, site visits, and occasional time in the office where needed. You’ll have the trust to manage your own diary while remaining connected to the wider team.
The business works with a broad panel of lenders, including major high street banks and specialist funders, giving you consistent exposure to a wide range of developments.
There is a strong pipeline of work and a clear need for additional monitoring capability.
About You
I’m looking for someone who understands construction, cost, and risk.
You could be:
*An experienced Monitoring Surveyor
*A Building Surveyor or Quantity Surveyor with some exposure to monitoring
*Someone looking to transition into development monitoring long term
You’ll ideally be MRICS or working towards it.
You’ll also bring:
*Strong report writing and communication skills
*Commercial awareness and attention to detail
*The ability to work independently
*Confidence dealing with lenders and project teams
Salary & Benefits
*£55,000 – £65,000 as a guide for Senior level (flexible for the right person)
*Bonus typically £5,000 – £10,000 based on company profit and individual performance
*28 days annual leave + bank holidays
*Pension
*Flexible working model with strong autonomy
Progression
This is a business where monitoring is the core service, not a side offering.
You’ll gain exposure to a wide range of funders and development types, with a clear path to progress as you build your experience. The structure supports growth from Surveyor through to Associate Director level.
Working Environment
The team is collaborative, experienced, and well connected nationally. The culture is built on trust, output, and professional delivery rather than presenteeism.
You can be based anywhere across the North West or Yorkshire, provided you can access sites.
