Contract
Our client, a leading company in the energy sector, is currently seeking a Support Surveyor to join their Land, Planning and External Affairs Department. This is a contract role located across the UK, with a hybrid working arrangement.
The UK has set out its ambition to be net zero by 2050, and the energy industry is responding – together we are building a cleaner, greener Britain. Strategic Infrastructure (SI) is delivering the long-term infrastructure needed to achieve this ambition, and Land Planning and External Affairs (LPEA) within SI is the key enabler to secure the right to build this infrastructure.

You'll be part of a collaborative, supportive land team providing expert land rights and acquisition services required for new electrical assets for National Grid, in accordance with current legislation and guidance, best practice, and procedure, to ensure National Grid adheres to its licence obligations.
