Ideally, you will be RICS Qualified and an RICS Registered Valuer with extensive PQE experience in a general practice/infrastructure surveying role with a business development-oriented attitude focusing on delivering excellent customer service.

You must also demonstrate a good working knowledge of relevant legislation and possess strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Ambition and a keen desire to develop your career in line with the business is essential, as is actively seeking out continuous self-development to broaden your knowledge and experience. The ability to drive business initiatives forward and establish new relationships while maintaining existing ones is key. Being a team player with strong interpersonal skills, a good sense of humour, and the ability to communicate effectively with both colleagues and clients at all levels is crucial.
The role demands significant engagement with clients as well as landowners and agents; therefore, strong communication skills are essential. The successful candidate should be friendly, empathetic, diplomatic, and approachable. The day-to-day requirements of the role can change quickly, so the successful candidate must be able to work in a fast-paced environment where flexibility is essential. A full driving licence is also required due to the travel involved in the role.
If you feel you have some of the qualities we are looking for and would like to ask questions about the role, we would like to hear from you.
We offer a highly competitive rewards package including group pension, flexible benefits, referral schemes, and generous annual leave.

Learning and development is important to us; we encourage everyone to continue developing to optimise their performance and fulfil their potential. We have an agile flexible working policy; many of our team work flexibly, and we would be happy to talk to you about how this could work for you. We enjoy what we do, and we do it well, which is why 80% of our business comes from repeat clients.
