Build the world you want to live in with a career in the infrastructure property sector
We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced MRICS Surveyor to join our Infrastructure team in Maidstone.
This is a varied and rewarding role where you will advise clients on complex infrastructure schemes across the transport,
regeneration and energy sectors. Working on behalf of landowners, local authorities, developers and infrastructure providers, you
will provide specialist advice on land assembly, compulsory purchase, compensation, valuation and access matters, supporting
projects from inception through to delivery.
You will have the opportunity to work on high-profile projects, delivering strategic and practical property advice while building
strong client relationships and helping to secure successful outcomes. Alongside project delivery, you will contribute to business
development activities, support the growth of client accounts and play an active role in the development of junior colleagues.
You will be joining a collaborative and forward-thinking team, where you'll have the opportunity to develop your technical
expertise, broaden your experience across the infrastructure sector and help shape the future growth of the business.
The role will be based out of our West Malling office; however, due to the nature of the portfolio, the successful candidate will
be required to travel. We offer a highly competitive salary and benefits package, along with flexible and agile working options to
support your work-life balance.
Main tasks
* Providing land assembly, acquisition and compulsory purchase advice across major infrastructure, regeneration and energy
projects.
* Advising clients on compulsory purchase strategy, including budgets and the effective use of statutory powers.
* Securing access across third-party land to facilitate survey, construction and maintenance works.
* Negotiating compensation claims arising from compulsory acquisition, temporary possession, access rights and
construction-related impacts.
* Providing valuation and wider property advice to clients, landowners and stakeholders affected by infrastructure projects.
* Managing multiple projects, ensuring delivery to a high standard and within required timescales.
* Building and maintaining strong client relationships whilst identifying and developing new business opportunities.
* Supporting wider business development initiatives, particularly with Local Authorities, landowners and infrastructure clients.
* Managing and supporting surveyors within the team.
* Mentoring and supporting junior team members in their professional development.
* Contributing to continuous improvement, including the development of best-practice processes and effective use of technology.
* Ensuring compliance with relevant legislation, professional standards and internal procedures.
What does it take to be successful?
We are seeking a motivated and commercially aware MRICS Surveyor with at least five years' post-qualification experience within
the rural, infrastructure or wider property sector.
You will have a strong understanding of compulsory purchase, compensation, land assembly and valuation matters, together with
sound knowledge of relevant legislation and professional standards. Experience advising on infrastructure projects would be
advantageous, although candidates with transferable experience from the rural or wider property sectors are also encouraged to
apply.
You will be confident managing multiple projects, delivering practical advice and building trusted relationships with clients and
stakeholders. Strong communication, negotiation, analytical and problem-solving skills are essential, as is the ability to
identify business development opportunities and contribute to the continued growth of the business.
Most importantly, you'll be a proactive and collaborative team player who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment, supporting
colleagues and delivering excellent client service.
A full UK driving licence will also be required.
