These are Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, The Green Park, St James’s Park, The Regent's Park and Primrose Hill, Greenwich Park, Richmond Park and Bushy Park.
We also manage other important public spaces including Brompton Cemetery and Victoria Tower Gardens. Our eight Royal Parks and other iconic green spaces are among the most visited attractions in the UK with tens of millions of visits every year.
We are now looking for a Building Surveyor (Boundary Walls) to join us on a full-time, two-year fixed term contract, working 36 hours per week.
The Benefits
- Salary of £46,000 - £52,000 per annum, depending on experience

- Pension scheme (3% employee contribution; up to 10% employer contribution)
- Private medical insurance and healthcare cash plan
- Employee assistance programme and access to mental health first aiders
- Learning and development opportunities
- Cycle to work scheme
- Offices in a beautiful location
The Role
A rare opportunity to work for TRP and take ownership of approximately 17.5km of historic boundary walls across some of London’s most iconic parks, helping to protect and conserve these significant heritage assets within a unique and varied estate. As Boundary Wall Surveyor, you will lead the inspection, prioritisation and repair of listed and non-listed brick boundary walls across Richmond Park, Bushy Park, Greenwich Park, Brompton Cemetery and Primrose Hill. Working with a high degree of autonomy, you will see projects through from initial survey and defect diagnosis to repair scope, delivery and completion.
This client side role offers the chance to shape a risk based inspection programme, manage repair works ranging from smaller remedial schemes to projects of up to approximately £150,000, and work closely with specialist heritage contractors, Conservation Architects and internal and external stakeholders to deliver practical, proportionate and well considered repair solutions. This role would suit an experienced, practical surveyor who enjoys working outdoors, is confident working independently and has a strong interest in traditional buildings, heritage brickwork and conservation repair. We are looking for someone with sound practical building surveying experience, particularly in brickwork, defect diagnosis and condition reporting, who can make clear repair recommendations, prepare practical scopes oversee conservation led works on site.
Formal qualifications or chartership are not essential. The right candidate will bring strong practical knowledge, relevant experience, sound judgement and the confidence to manage our boundary wall assets independently. This role may particularly appeal to someone looking for a more purposeful position within a charity, where their skills can directly contribute to the care, protection and long-term stewardship of a historic public estate.

To be considered as a Building Surveyor, you will need:
- Experience with planning, listed building practice, and heritage conservation
- Proven contractor and stakeholder management skills
- Excellent report writing and communication abilities
