About the Team
The Estates Team provides professional property advice and support across all Directorates, working closely with services to develop estate strategies and align property solutions with commissioned service requirements.
The team delivers a broad range of estate management functions, including maximising property occupancy and income, identifying opportunities to acquire land and property in support of the Council Plan, and disposing of surplus assets to contribute towards Medium Term Financial Strategy (MTFS) objectives.
Through direct delivery and the management of specialist consultants, the team ensures that property and estate activities support corporate priorities, service outcomes, and statutory obligations.
About the Role
As a Senior Estates Surveyor, you will work within a small team of property professionals, supporting the Estates Commissioning Manager in delivering the Council’s estate management priorities and organisational objectives.
You will act as the intelligent client for a wide range of property matters across a diverse portfolio, providing strategic property advice and leading complex real estate transactions. The role requires the ability to build and maintain effective working relationships with internal stakeholders, tenants, consultants, legal advisers, external partners, and Warwickshire Property Management (WPM), which works alongside the Estates Team to provide specialist property management services across the Council’s operational and investment portfolio.
