Residential Surveyor

At Hogbens Chartered Surveyors, we’re redefining what it means to support clients in their property journey. Our RICS-regulated practice is trusted for delivering honest, impartial, and detailed advice that helps people buy and own property with confidence – without the stress.

We’re seeking an MRICS, AssocRICS, or FRICS Residential Surveyor to join our close-knit, values-driven team.

This is more than a technical position – it’s an opportunity to make a real difference in people’s lives. You’ll take the lead on residential surveys, including RICS Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 reports, helping clients understand their property in clear, practical terms.

At Hogbens, we believe surveying is about people as much as property. Our surveyors are great communicators who take the time to bring their reports to life, explain findings clearly, and ensure every client feels informed, reassured, and confident in their next steps.

Working across East Cheshire, North Staffordshire, and Derbyshire, you’ll have the autonomy to manage your own diary while being supported by a collaborative, forward-thinking team that values professionalism, personality, and precision in equal measure.

What We’re Looking For

• MRICS, AssocRICS, or FRICS qualification

• Minimum 3–5 years’ post-qualification experience

• Excellent people skills and a genuine passion for client communication and service

• Strong technical knowledge of traditional, period, and listed residential buildings

• Confident working independently, with a pragmatic, solutions-led approach

• Able to produce high-quality, RICS-compliant reports within 5 working days

• Shares our commitment to integrity, empathy, and educating clients

• Brings a sense of humour, humanity, and pride to their work

What We Offer

• £50,000 base salary (commensurate with experience) + performance-based bonuses

• Flexible hours and remote working options

• Genuine work-life balance – we typically recommend one survey per day to maintain the highest quality and client satisfaction

• Ongoing RICS CPD and professional development support

• Every surveyor will be trained and licensed for drone use – we’ll fund your CAA drone licence and provide you with a drone to use on surveys

• A strong focus on upskilling and career progression – if you want to grow, we’re the people to do it with

• A supportive, respectful, and down-to-earth culture – we take our work seriously, not ourselves
