About the Role
What if you could do the kind of work the world needs? At WSP, you can access our global scale, contribute to landmark projects and connect with the brightest minds in your field to do the best work of your life. Our specialist Health and Life Sciences Advisory (HLSA) team supports healthcare providers, public sector organisations and life sciences clients to create the estates and infrastructure needed to deliver better services, improve patient outcomes, innovate and support future growth. We provide strategic property advisory and project delivery expertise to NHS Trusts, independent healthcare providers, local authorities and life sciences organisations, including major NHS Trusts and strategic partners across government and the life sciences sectors.

As an Assistant Surveyor, you will work alongside experienced property consultants and surveyors on some of the UK's most complex and impactful health and life sciences estate programmes. You will gain exposure to a broad range of property advisory disciplines including estate strategy, valuation, development consultancy, agency and transactions, helping clients optimise their property portfolios, secure investment and deliver long-term value and operational efficiency.

From an early stage, you will have opportunities to work directly with clients, attend stakeholder workshops and contribute to the delivery of high-profile advisory commissions. This role offers a clear pathway for progression, providing opportunities to take on increasing responsibility, develop specialist expertise and build long-term client relationships as part of a growing national advisory team.

Your responsibilities will include supporting major NHS Trusts and public sector organisations to transform their estates, optimise property portfolios and unlock investment opportunities; contributing to development appraisals, business cases and investment strategies that shape the future of healthcare and life sciences infrastructure across the UK; supporting agency services across property disposals, acquisitions and lettings; providing consultancy advice on leases, ownership and legal title occupation; and assisting qualified surveyors in the preparation and delivery of Red Book valuations.

No two days look the same. You might start by pulling together property and planning analysis for an estate strategy, join a client workshop to test commercial and healthcare redevelopment options for a site, then spend the afternoon working up a development appraisal or supporting a colleague negotiating commercial lease terms. You will collaborate closely with surveyors, architects, town planners and infrastructure specialists, gaining experience across disciplines at pace. Much of the work is live and client-facing, and your contribution will feed directly into advice that shapes how healthcare and life sciences estates are used across the UK.

This is an excellent opportunity to accelerate your professional development and build the experience needed to progress towards Chartered Surveyor status through the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) APC pathway. WSP actively supports colleagues through the RICS APC process and provides mentoring, training and practical experience across a wide range of property disciplines.
