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.
