- Attending businesses to carry out site inspections and prepare inventories
- Valuing plant, machinery, vehicles, stock, office equipment and other business assets

About You
We are particularly interested in hearing from people with some experience in asset valuation, auctioneering, insolvency asset sales, plant & machinery or a related area.
You do not need to bring an existing client base. The main requirement is someone who can carry out instructions properly, deal confidently with clients and other parties on site, and take responsibility for their work.
We are looking for someone who is:
- Practical, organised and comfortable working both on site and in the office
- Confident identifying, researching and valuing a range of business assets
- Able to prepare accurate inventories and clear valuation reports
- Comfortable dealing with insolvency practitioners, company directors, purchasers and contractors
- Able to work independently
- Hold a full UK driving licence
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
RICS, NAVA or other relevant professional qualifications would be welcomed, but are not essential where someone has suitable practical experience.
Experience
We expect the position to suit someone at junior-to-mid level who already has some relevant experience and is looking to develop further.
That said, we would also be interested in speaking to more experienced valuers. For the right person, the role and package can be adjusted to reflect their experience, particularly if they are able to manage more complex instructions independently or already have relationships within the insolvency market.
The successful candidate will get exposure to a wide range of businesses and assets and will be involved throughout the valuation and disposal process, rather than being limited to one particular type of work.
To apply, or if you would prefer an informal and confidential conversation about the role, please send your CV and a brief introduction to sam@pdsvaluers.com.
