At Specsavers, we’re here to change lives through better sight and hearing. As our business continues to grow, so does the scale and ambition of our Property team. We’re expanding as part of that growth and have two exciting opportunities for Property Surveyors – Estate Managers to join us. With a home-based setup, a supportive and highly experienced team, and regular opportunities to come together throughout the year, this is a chance to be part of a collaborative, people-focused function that is going from strength to strength.
This is a role where you’ll make a genuine impact on how our estate evolves. Property plays a critical role in enabling our growth, and you’ll be right at the heart of it, managing relationships, influencing decisions and helping to shape a varied and expanding retail portfolio across the UK.
You’ll be trusted with real autonomy, while still feeling fully supported by a team that shares knowledge openly and works together to solve problems. Although the roles are remote, connection is a big part of how this team operates, with regular in-person meet ups across the year to collaborate, build relationships and learn from each other.

In this role, you’ll take ownership of a wide range of estate management activity. Day to day, that means managing lease renewals, rent reviews and wider asset management projects, ensuring our estate remains commercially strong, well-managed and aligned to the needs of the business. You’ll be responsible for navigating complex landlord relationships, reviewing service charges, insurance and costs, and negotiating outcomes that create long-term value.
You’ll work closely with internal teams including business development and retail support to ensure property activity aligns with new store openings, relocations and strategic plans. Alongside this, you’ll play a key role in wider estate matters, supporting everything from licences to alter and landlord disputes through to maintenance and compliance considerations.
A big part of the role is building strong, trusted relationships. You’ll regularly travel, to spend time with store partners, understanding their needs, supporting them through property decisions and representing Specsavers in key conversations. This face-to-face connection is essential in helping you influence outcomes and deliver the best possible results for both the partnership and the business.
