Commercial Surveyor | Suffolk
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Commercial Surveyor to join a growing and entrepreneurial client-side land and property business based in Suffolk.
The business undertakes both direct and funded development, the promotion of strategic land, and joint ventures in renewable energy, while also managing an established mixed-use portfolio. The wider landholding exceeds 6,500 acres across Sussex and Suffolk, with activity spanning a broad range of asset classes, including residential, commercial, rural, and renewable energy.
Unlike a consultancy environment, this role offers the opportunity to work directly for the business owners, providing genuine exposure to:
- Strategic decision-making
- Value creation
- The full development lifecycle from promotion through to planning consent and disposal
This role will involve working across strategic land promotion, development projects, and asset enhancement initiatives, playing a key role in delivering long-term value creation and sustainable growth.
