Job description

Our client has grown to be one of the largest and most respected property consultancies and surveying advisory firms in the UK, with a network of offices across England and Wales, employing more than 900 partners and employees. As a major property practice, they have a market-leading team comprising surveyors, valuers, environmental specialists, project managers, and town planners. They provide sound independent advice on all aspects of infrastructure projects, enabling clients to capitalize on land and property market opportunities.

Following the growth of their asset management portfolio, they are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic Chartered Surveyor to join their friendly and ambitious team based in Birmingham. The role primarily involves working with rural assets of agricultural or equine nature, providing day-to-day and strategic estate management advice to major infrastructure clients.

The package includes a highly competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package with flexible options such as additional leave, health cash plans, cycle-to-work schemes, and more. The company welcomes applications from candidates seeking flexible or agile working arrangements, which can be discussed during the application process.

About You

• Ideally RICS qualified with rural surveying experience. Valuation experience, RICS Registered Valuer status, and CAAV probationer status are preferred. You should have a good working knowledge of relevant legislation, with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
