Particularly relevant backgrounds

• Land referencing or land assembly experience
• Geography, GIS, spatial data or other relevant degree
• Land/property or infrastructure-related experience
• Experience working with GIS, mapping or Land Registry information
• Exposure to compulsory purchase, land rights, easements or utilities

What will you be doing?

• Supporting land assembly and land referencing activities across the programme
• Reviewing and assuring land referencing information provided by the supply chain
• Working with mapping, spatial and land ownership data to understand ownership, occupation and land requirements
• Supporting activity relating to land rights, easements, temporary land acquisition and utility diversions
• Assisting with compulsory purchase and conveyancing-related processes and notices
• Coordinating workshops, recording actions and ensuring these are progressed
• Liaising with multiple stakeholders and suppliers to obtain info and updates
• Checking and maintaining accurate data and records
• Supporting future land referencing requirements across the wider programme

Previous industry experience is not essential if you can demonstrate relevant transferable skills and a good understanding of what land referencing and land assembly involve.

This is an excellent development opportunity, with previous assistants progressing into more senior positions within the team.
