Corporate Real Estate Building Surveyor

Manage an extensive UK-wide property portfolio. Hybrid 40% homeworking and 60% from Stratford Upon Avon. Company car or allowance + up to 17.5% bonus + 20% Contributory pension scheme.

About the role

This is an exciting opportunity for a Corporate Real Estate Building Surveyor to join the Corporate Surveying Team at NFU Mutual, where you'll manage an occupied and leasehold occupational property portfolio across the UK (including Northern Ireland).

In this crucial role you'll ensure our sites are equipped to meet the needs of all our employees and the NFU Mutual Agency Network across the UK. You'll influence and advise stakeholders on the effective management of buildings, fixtures and services throughout the property lifecycle. You'll typically be required to travel to various locations once a week, but this could be more if you're managing a particular project. To ensure that you can travel in comfort and at times convenient to you, we will provide a company car or car allowance.

• Strong knowledge of building issues within commercial, office and retail environments


• Experience of delivering fit outs and refurbishments within commercial premises


• Experience of delivering Planned Maintenance programmes and national contracts
