McBains are looking for an assistant level Party Wall Surveyor with general Building Surveying experience to be based from our London head office between Bank and Liverpool Street stations.

This will be a great opportunity to join our business and to provide key support within the London Building Surveying team where you will be required to report directly to the Associate Director. You will be from a Building Surveying/Real Estate background looking to specialise in Party Walls.

As such, we are looking for the individual to ideally hold a membership with The Pyramus and Thisbe Society and/or The Faculty of Party Wall Surveyors, or instead be looking to join.
