This is an opportunity to work for an ambitious local authority with a vision for improving the quality of life for everyone in the borough. At Hertsmere you’ll be working for a unique council which owns the world-famous Elstree Studios in an area rich with film, television and media connections. Located just outside of North London in southern Hertfordshire, Hertsmere benefits from both extensive greenbelt countryside and also excellent transport links to London and the Home Counties.

We are looking to recruit a Senior Estates Surveyor to manage our small but busy Estates team. The role covers all aspects of Estate Management, including handling the acquisition and disposal of land and buildings, and carrying out landlord and tenant functions, valuations and development appraisals.

You will be rewarded with the flexibility of acting on your own initiative and managing your day to day workload, together with the opportunity to progress your career in a deputising capacity for the Head of Asset Management & Engineering Services.

The post is offered on a permanent, full time basis (36 hours per week).

Benefits include:

• 27 – 32 days annual leave (depending on length of Local Gvt Service) - plus all bank holidays
