Job Details
Join Our Estates Team as an Estates Surveyor (Projects/Development) – Flexible Working Opportunities Available!
Are you a qualified estates/development surveyor, passionate about shaping impactful projects? We have a rewarding opportunity which may be possible to 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 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.
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, your experience will also enhance other team functions, including acquisitions, disposals, property management, and valuations. RICS Registered Valuer status would be an advantage.
