If you’re part of the Environment Agency, you’re part of the solution. Working with us means protecting and improving the environment and tackling issues of national importance. We’re based across England, and our responsibilities span industry regulation, flood defences, land contamination, water quality, fisheries and conservation.

Such broad scope of work calls for diverse, multi-skilled teams. Together, we’ll promote sustainable growth, tackle climate change and secure a better future for everyone.

As an Estates Surveyor, you’ll be involved in surveying work, providing professional property expertise across aspects of our business. You’ll work collaboratively within project teams helping to deliver a £5.4 billion programme of flood defence work that will protect 336,000 properties. You’ll be involved at stages of project delivery from feasibility through to completion. Your expertise will be applied to the management of a land and property portfolio, including property management, valuation and dealing with landlord and tenant issues helping to maximise income, enhance asset value and deliver commercial objectives.

As a confident negotiator, you’ll represent our interests with a broad customer and client base. With an up-to-date knowledge of current legislation and best practice, you'll identify opportunities for sustainable revenue growth and provide technical guidance and support to members of your team. We’ll also support you to develop both personally and professionally

Responding to incidents is an important part of what we do, and with this in mind you’ll have an incident role and should be ready to make yourself available to respond or provide business continuity support. This may attract an additional payment, and full training and alternative working arrangements will be available to support you.

The team

The Estates service extends to 160 people, offering professional support for Environment Agency land, property, compensation and valuation matters. We are core to the delivery of the Agency's £5.2 billion capital programme to better protect 336,000 homes. Our experienced teams specialise in negotiating access, dealing with compensation claims from land/property owners where they have suffered loss as a consequence of our work.
