Whether your interest is in property development, acquisition and disposal, landlord and tenant, or property management, you will have the opportunity to get involved in a variety of work and interesting and challenging property projects as we reshape our portfolio to meet the future needs of our service directorates and local communities.
To be successful in this role you will need to demonstrate:

- Membership of an appropriate professional body such as the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, with substantial post-qualification experience.
- Have the knowledge and experience to be eligible for registration as an RICS Registered Valuer (Desirable).
- Understanding and experience of delivering property development projects, financial appraisals, analysis, and funding mechanisms.
- Experience of dealing with complex site assembly to enable wholesale redevelopment.
- An up-to-date working knowledge of property valuation, planning, and development legislation, convention, and best practice.
- Significant experience and understanding of the property market and more specifically property development (commercial and/or residential).
- A track record that demonstrates initiative, independence, and ability to negotiate with internal and external clients and key stakeholders on property development matters.
