We're working with a Northeast-based Local Authority to appoint a Commercial Estates Surveyor into their Corporate Property Team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a strong estates or asset management background to join a team focused on driving strategic value and improving property outcomes across the council's diverse portfolio.

Why This Role Stands Out:
* Directly contribute to the Council's strategic objectives by managing and optimising its property assets.
* Professional Growth: Collaborate with a team of experts, including the Head of Estates, Partnerships, and Programmes, gaining invaluable experience in high-level property management.
* Diverse Responsibilities: From managing legal titles and contractual obligations to providing specialist property advice, your role will be varied and engaging.
* Community Focused: Play a key role in projects that benefit the wider community, including social, economic, and service development initiatives.
Key Responsibilities:
* Manage records of legal titles, disposals, acquisitions, valuations, and lease renewals.
* Conduct condition surveys, handle compensation and statutory claims, and perform insurance valuations.
