Estate and Development – Commercial Investments, Strategic Sales and Property Purchases
Our Estates & Development Service is at the heart of property management and development excellence in Wiltshire. We are the keepers of Wiltshire Council’s property portfolio, orchestrating strategic acquisitions, sales, and meticulous management.
As a Senior Estates Manager, you’ll drive estate management, leading surplus asset disposal, shaping efficiency savings, and managing a team of surveyors. Your responsibilities include overseeing a diverse caseload involving acquisitions, disposals, and Landlord and Tenant work.
Our commitment to innovation extends to every facet of estate management. From operational offices to a sprawling 4,750-acre rural estate, we navigate complexities with skill, ensuring optimal returns from our investment portfolio with a gross rent roll of £2.5m.
To thrive in this role, our ideal candidate is equipped with a degree in estate management, professional qualifications (RICS), and a proven background in staff management and development.
We value strong interpersonal, planning, and organisational skills with the ability to prioritise and coordinate workloads. A keen eye for detail to identify commercial opportunities for income growth or cost reduction is crucial. Experience in project work within a multi-disciplinary team and the ability to communicate complex issues to diverse stakeholders are essential traits we seek.
Join us in shaping the future of our estate and development initiatives!
