Senior Building Surveyor

Why This Role Stands Out Salary: $120k–$150k + 12% super (dependent on experience) Bonus: 10–15% performance bonus linked to quality, timeliness, and client satisfaction Vehicle: Toyota Hilux Rogue (dual cab) Relocation support: $5k–$10k dependent on circumstances Professional development: $3k–$5k annual CPD and paid memberships to AIBS & AAC Flexibility: Option for a nine-day fortnight or one RDO per month Future growth: Genuine pathway to Principal and potential equity opportunity The Opportunity If you’re a Building Surveyor (Limited) looking for something more - autonomy, support, modern systems, and a real pathway to senior leadership and equity - this is worth a serious look. You’ll join a well-respected, high-performing team of building surveyors delivering clear, compliant, and timely approvals for Class 1 and 10 residential projects across Tasmania. This role combines genuine professional challenge with a lifestyle that’s hard to beat - shorter commutes, a relaxed pace, clean air, and time back for what matters. The business is established, growing steadily, and investing in its people and systems for the long term. You’ll take ownership of your own projects end-to-end, mentor junior team members, and play a key role in shaping smarter ways of working. The role is based in Hobart, and financial support with relocation is available, with relocation assistance for interstate applicants. The Culture It’s a close-knit, down-to-earth team where quality work, mutual respect, and good humour go hand in hand. You’ll be supported, trusted, and encouraged to bring ideas that make things better - for the business, clients, and the industry. This business values honesty, clarity, professionalism, and community. You’ll work with people who care about doing the job right, every time. The business is family owned, profitable, and growing - arguably, the most successful Building Surveying practice (residential homes), in Tasmania. What You’ll Be Doing Deliver end-to-end certification and inspections for residential projects Provide clear, practical advice to builders, designers, and clients Plan and conduct inspections, prepare reports, and maintain compliance Mentor emerging surveyors and contribute to continuous improvement Work with smart systems (BCS, FuseSign, Bluebeam) in a paperless environment Operate autonomously, supported by a structured, modern, and friendly team What You’ll Bring / Do you suit this role Accreditation or registration as a Building Surveyor (Limited / or equivalent) Experience with Class 1 & 10 residential approvals and inspections Strong written communication and technical reporting skills Solid understanding of NCC Volume 2, Tasmanian legislation (ideally, but not essential), and Australian Standards A proactive, accountable approach - you like getting things done properly A current driver’s licence and willingness to travel for site visits Why Tasmania? Beyond the professional opportunity, this is a chance to live and work differently. Think short drives instead of traffic jams, beaches and mountain trails minutes from your door, and a cost of living that leaves room for real weekends. Tasmania offers the kind of work-life balance most mainland surveyors only talk about.
