Land Agent
Peel Land | Manchester
Peel Land is seeking an ambitious Land Agent to join its growing Estates team based on the outskirts of Manchester.
Part of The Peel Group, one of the UK's leading real estate and infrastructure investors, Peel Land specialises in the acquisition, promotion, management and delivery of major development opportunities across the residential, commercial, logistics, leisure, health and digital sectors. The business manages an extensive and diverse landholding portfolio across the North West and wider UK.
As the team expands, an opportunity has arisen that offers the chance to work alongside experienced land and rural professionals on a broad range of estate management, strategic land and development projects.
The Opportunity
Peel Land owns and manages a substantial portfolio of agricultural land, strategic development land, woodland, residential property and public access land, with holdings concentrated around Greater Manchester and the wider North West. The portfolio is continually evolving as land is promoted for development, environmental enhancement and long-term value creation.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
