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, and conservation-led recommendations.
• Heritage Consultancy:Supporting heritage statements, heritage impact assessments, planning applications, and Listed Building Consent (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.
