Shape Wiltshires Future - Two Exciting Roles in Estates & Development
Wiltshire Councils Estates & Development Service is at the heart of property management and development excellence. We manage a diverse portfolio, from operational offices to a 4,750-acre rural estate, delivering strategic acquisitions, disposals, and value-driven initiatives that support housing, sustainability, and community development.
We are recruiting for two distinct roles under our career grade framework, which offers clear progression and professional development opportunities.
As an Estates Surveyor, you have a dedicated caseload working on acquisitions, disposals, portfolio management, supporting housing initiatives and the transfer of assets to Town and Parish Councils. You will help shape policies on land disposal, property rights, and cost recovery, applying logical and pragmatic thinking to deliver results.
As a Senior Estates Manager, you will lead a team of surveyors, manage surplus asset disposal, and oversee complex projects that deliver efficiency savings. You will drive strategic estate management across a varied caseload, ensuring optimal returns from our investment portfolio and influencing key decisions.
Both roles require a degree in Estate Management and RICS qualification or equivalent experience. For the Senior Estates Manager position, proven leadership experience and the ability to manage multi-disciplinary projects are essential. Strong organisational skills, commercial awareness, and the ability to communicate complex issues to diverse stakeholders are qualities we value highly.
N.B. Please ensure your CV clearly states the position(s) you are applying for. If you are applying for more than one role, specify both.
Joining us means working on impactful projects that shape Wiltshires future, with the Estates Surveyor role benefiting from a career grade framework that supports your growth, and managing a portfolio that offers variety and challenge every day. We also provide a competitive package, local government benefits, and flexible working options.
