Commercial Estates Surveyor
Location: Northeast
Contract: 6-month contract
Day rate: £400 per day inside IR35
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.
This is more than a standard surveying role it's a chance to directly support the council's wider social and financial objectives, while being part of a collaborative, forward-thinking estates function
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.
Develop strategies for property disposals and transactions, ensuring compliance with Financial Regulations.
Lead negotiations with third parties, partners, and contractors on property deals.
Provide specialist property advice to colleagues, service managers, and councillors.
Liaise with internal clients to understand property requirements and develop innovative solutions.
Contribute to the formulation of estates strategies and tactical plans.📩 If you're an estates professional ready to take on a new challenge within a progressive local authority team, drop me a message or apply now
