ABOUT THE POST
Do you have a background in building surveying, building pathology and construction technology?
This is your opportunity to contribute to the launch of our BSc (Hons) and MSc Building Surveying courses within the School of the Built Environment at London Met. These new programmes have been created in response to strong demand from local, national, and international employers for graduates with expertise in building surveying, building pathology, retrofit, digital surveying, and climate-resilient practice. The School aims to transform students’ lives and act as a driver for social equality by providing access to high-quality education that prepares them for professional roles in a rapidly evolving, digitally enabled built environment sector.
We are looking for an ambitious academic and/ or practitioner with industry experience who is seeking the next challenge in their careers and would relish the opportunity to join our School. The successful applicant will hold a PhD in a relevant field or demonstrate an equivalent level of knowledge gained through professional practice, and will be professionally qualified with full membership of a relevant body such as RICS, CIOB, or CABE.
This post is situated within the Surveying and Real Estate subject area in the School of the Built Environment, based at our Holloway Road campus.
We are expanding our expertise in the area of Building Surveying and are looking for a committed individual to lead our new undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

- Building performance, maintenance and whole lifecycle value
- Digital technologies, such as BIM, 3D laser scanning, drones, IoT sensors, mobile tools, AI, and machine learning to enhance data-driven building diagnostics, performance monitoring and asset management
This experience and expertise may have been gained through professional practice or substantial teaching and research in the field.
We expect the post holder to possess sufficient experience and knowledge – whether from industry, academia, or a combination of both – to develop engaging and inclusive teaching and assessment methods. They will also contribute to pastoral tutoring and supervision of undergraduate and postgraduate research projects.
