This is an exciting opportunity based in our Belfast office to become part of our multi-disciplinary service line within the WSP Land Team in the delivery of land referencing, land acquisition, land access, formal consents, statutory orders and compensation agreements and landowner management. We are the largest Land Referencing business in the UK and Ireland, delivering high profile projects such as the A5WTC, North South Interconnector, A9 Dualling and HS2.
Our clients develop major highway, rail, energy and renewable infrastructure and projects all of which impact privately owned land. You will work as part of a team of Land Consultants assisting in the liaison with landowners that may be affected by development, obtaining the appropriate consent, gaining access and where necessary compensating them for the impact caused by the scheme.
As a Senior Agricultural Liaison Officer, you will work with a team of technical specialists to ensure successful delivery of projects, advise and build strong relationships with landowners and stakeholders and to promote our services and secure new opportunities with clients. You will work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment to deliver the necessary information required to identify, notify, engage, gain access to land and (where required) subsequently compensate landowners for any impact caused by scheme development.
As such, the ideal candidate will have demonstrable experience in acquiring land rights for infrastructure development projects at all scales and providing land advice to clients to help de-risk the land elements of their projects. You should also be able to demonstrate significant experience in working with multi-disciplinary teams across a range of infrastructure development sectors. The successful candidate would be expected to work on a diverse range of projects, with a particular focus on clients in Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland.
This role would suit an experienced Agricultural Liaison Officer with excellent landowner engagement skills who has proven track record of working within the energy and/or transport infrastructure development sectors.
