Residential Surveyors (private workload/non-lender) – SW, TW, KT, GU & SM – Up to £75k basic + bonuses & package

We’re working with a long established, multi-office, independent firm of chartered surveyors who are looking to hire additional Residential Surveyors as follows:

  • AssocRICS/MRICS/FRICS qualified (no need for VRS – our client does not undertake lender derived mortgage valuation work)

  • Living within (or able to cover) any (but not necessarily all) of the following postcodes: SW, TW, KT, GU, SM

  • Home based role, travelling to surveys as booked (with occasional team get togethers / celebrations at head office etc.)

  • Workload comprises L2 and L3 Surveys at low volume (typically 5 jobs per week with very sensible turnaround times: 2-3 days for L2 and 4-5 days for L3)

  • Excellent fees - £750-£2000 per report (depending on service requested)

  • Option to diversify into Valuation and Party Wall work if desired, with an accompanying bonus scheme for referral work brought in

  • Using Go Report as software with optional training to use drones for those keen

  • Dedicated booker who will ensure your workload is organised how YOU require it, as well as an administration team dealing with all aspects of pre and post survey correspondence (sending report etc.)

    Remuneration includes:

  • Highly competitive basic salaries – £50k+ for newly qualified AssocRICS through to £75k+ for experienced MRICS (plus generous car allowance or car if preferred)

  • Bonuses paid quarterly at 20% of fee income above low threshold, enabling well over £100k OTE whilst maintaining excellent work life balance

  • All RICS/professional fees paid as well as mileage at prevailing HMRC rates

  • Option to work compressed hours – take a shorter lunch or work an extra 30 mins per day to add an extra day off every 4 weeks (amounting to an additional 13 days off per annum)

  • Enviable record of staff retention (average tenure of 8 years with no surveyor departures in the last 5!) and a 100% first time pass rate for those pursuing their APC.

UAV (Drones) Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK unmanned aviation (UAV/UAS/RPAS) hiring has shifted from aircraft‑type buzzwords to capability‑driven evaluation across flight ops, autonomy, data products, safety & regulatory compliance. Employers want proof you can plan, fly, analyse and scale UAV systems safely and economically—VLOS/A2 CofC, GVC, BVLOS & SORA ops, UTM integrations, command‑and‑control resilience, sense‑and‑avoid, payload pipelines, and fleet reliability. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for UAV pilots/ops managers, flight test engineers, autonomy/perception, GNC/control, UTM/backend, safety & airworthiness, data processing/analysis, and field engineering roles. Who this is for: UAV pilots & flight ops, mission planners, flight test & safety engineers, autonomy/SLAM/perception, GNC/control engineers, embedded/avionics, communications & C2 links, UTM/airspace integrations, data processing (imagery/LiDAR/thermal), GIS/photogrammetry, maintenance & field techs, and programme/product managers in the UK.

Why UAV (Drone) Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, have seen rapid adoption across sectors in the UK — agriculture, logistics, inspection, mapping, delivery, search & rescue, environmental monitoring, media, defence, and more. As UAV use proliferates, the roles supporting them are shifting. Modern UAV careers are no longer just about aerodynamics, electronics or autopilot algorithms. They now require knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design — because flying machines in public airspace must be safe, trusted, legal, intuitive and well communicated. In this article, we’ll explore why UAV careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how those allied fields intersect with UAV work, and what job-seekers & employers should do to adapt.

UAV Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern UAV Department

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly called drones, are transforming industries across the UK—from agriculture, surveillance, mapping, and inspection to logistics, environmental monitoring, and emergency response. UAV systems combine hardware, embedded systems, controls, autonomy, sensors, communications, regulatory / airworthiness, and operations. As the UAV ecosystem grows, companies need team structures that ensure safety, reliability, regulatory compliance, and operational readiness. If you are applying for UAV roles via UAVJobs.co.uk or building a UAV team, this article will help you understand the roles typical in a modern UAV department, how they collaborate throughout the UAV lifecycle, what skills and qualifications employers expect in the UK, what salaries look like, common challenges, and best practices for structuring teams that deliver capable UAV systems.
