Colliers is looking for an enthusiastic Surveyor to join the Residential Valuation team within the London Valuation and Advisory Services department. We welcome applications from newly qualified surveyors through to those operating at Senior Surveyor level. Those who are close to qualifying will also be considered.

The role focused on delivering high-quality valuation and advisory work on individual residential assets.

• Analyse comparable evidence and local market data to support valuation conclusions.
• Produce clear, accurate valuation and advisory reports in line with RICS standards and firm templates.
• Manage multiple one-off instructions at different stages, ensuring deadlines are met.
• Support senior team members in nurturing repeat work from existing clients.
• Work in accordance with RICS Valuation – Global Standards (Red Book) and internal quality procedures.
• Ensure files are complete, auditable, and compliant.
• Keep up to date with local residential market trends and evidence.
