Job description

An established property consultancy is looking to appoint a Commercial Leasing Surveyor to join its growing Manchester team at an Associate Director level, with a focus across the office and industrial markets.

This is an opportunity for someone who wants more than simply servicing an existing instruction book. There is work to get involved with from day one, but the successful individual will also develop their own client relationships, generate new instructions and help shape the growth of the leasing offering across the North West.

Working as part of a wider, well-established team, you’ll benefit from existing client relationships and cross-selling opportunities while having the autonomy to build your own profile in the market.

The Role

• Leasing and disposal advice across office and industrial properties
• Managing existing instructions and taking ownership of client relationships
• Identifying and winning new business across the North West
• Building relationships with landlords, investors, developers and occupiers
• Undertaking viewings, negotiations and deal management
• Working closely with colleagues across the wider business to identify opportunities

About You

• You’ll ideally have experience within the Manchester/North West commercial property market, with a background in office, industrial or wider commercial agency.
• The team is particularly interested in someone who can bring existing market relationships and contacts, although they recognise this is a role that will take time to build. You’ll therefore need to be commercially minded, proactive and comfortable developing new business alongside delivering existing instructions.

This could suit an established Associate Director looking for greater autonomy or someone at a more senior level who wants the opportunity to build their own area within a supportive wider platform.
