Janus Conservation is growing, and we’re looking for a Graduate Conservation Surveyor to join our team.

This is a rare opportunity to enter the heritage sector through a genuinely multidisciplinary route. You’ll work across building surveying, heritage consultancy, and project delivery — gaining experience in every part of the conservation process, not just one silo.

We’re a small, agile practice working on listed and historic buildings, from major repair projects to detailed condition surveys and heritage advice. You’ll be supported throughout a structured training pathway designed to accelerate your development.

What you’ll be doing
You’ll rotate across all three core areas of the practice, developing into a well-rounded conservation professional:

• Building Surveys: assisting with measured surveys, reports, defect diagnosis, conservation-led recommendations
• Heritage Consultancy: supporting heritage statements, impact assessments, planning and LBC submissions
• Project Delivery: assisting with specifications, contract administration, site inspections, and project coordination

You’ll work directly under our delivery leads, gaining hands-on experience and learning how conservation decisions are made in practice.

What we’re looking for

• A RICS-accredited degree or a RICS- and IHBC-accredited degree
• A full UK driving licence and access to a car
• A genuine interest in historic buildings and how they’re repaired, managed, and protected
• Strong written communication skills
• Curiosity, initiative, and a willingness to get involved

Someone who enjoys problem-solving and wants to grow quickly

What we offer

• Entry onto the Janus Conservation Graduate Training Scheme, supporting you towards both RICS and IHBC qualification
• A structured development plan with clear milestones
• Weekly mentoring and direct support from senior conservation professionals
• Hands-on project, survey, and heritage experience from day one
• A friendly, highly supportive environment
• The opportunity to work on some of the most important listed buildings in the country
• A clear, long-term career pathway within a growing practice

About Janus

We’re a specialist conservation practice working across the UK. We pride ourselves on being agile, forward-thinking, and process-driven. Our work combines technical building expertise with deep heritage understanding — and we encourage our team to grow across both disciplines.
