Are you a qualified estates/development surveyor, passionate about shaping impactful projects? We have a rewarding opportunity which may be tailored to match your skillset and lifestyle! Are you in a full-time role looking for a new challenge or maybe you've recently decided to seek part-time or fixed-term work? Our Estates team at Fife Council is looking for an Estates Surveyor with a strong focus on development and project delivery.
Whilst a full-time appointment to the role is preferred, our progressive Estates Team recognises that may not be for everyone, so we would also like to hear from individuals who desire a more flexible or part-time role. Sound like you? Please read on and apply below.
In this pivotal role, you will manage a range of non-domestic property assets, specifically driving forward capital projects that directly benefit our community. Your expertise will be critical in:
* Development Projects: Spearheading the acquisition of buildings and land for new schools, road infrastructure, and other significant community projects.
* Project Delivery: Coordinating all property-related aspects of development initiatives, ensuring projects are completed on time, within budget, and to the highest standards.
* Stakeholder Engagement: Collaborating with internal and external design teams, consultants, and contractors to achieve project goals while maintaining sustainability objectives.
* Disposals: Managing the marketing and disposal of surplus assets.
Key Responsibilities include:
* Lead Negotiations: Engage with landowners and tenants to facilitate seamless project execution.
* Project Management: Oversee and streamline due diligence and preparatory activities for quick land and property disposals, including securing development design briefs and outline planning consents.
* Collaborative Approach: Work closely with multidisciplinary teams to deliver projects that meet community needs and expectations.
* Support the Estates Team: While your primary focus will be on development and project work including acquisitions & disposals, your experience will also enhance other team functions, including property management and valuations.
Why Join Us?
