Your work each day will vary, you could be supporting with gaining consent for access across third party land, negotiating lease events, land assembly, asset acquisition and disposal, valuations and contributing to strategic land acquisition reports. You will take an active role in the development and implementation of efficient, 'best practice' internal systems and processes, optimising IT and other resources. You will gain experience in some specialised and sought-after skills including land assembly negotiations and compulsory purchase which are in short supply in the market.

Clients are at the heart of what we do, so ensuring you develop and maintain strong relationships with our clients is essential, this includes attending client meetings and prepare communications and reports.

WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO BE SUCCESSFUL?
Candidates applying to Infrastructures will be from land management, environmental, infrastructure, planning & development, land administration, geography, real estate and extractive educational backgrounds and will develop a broad understanding of their role in the entire property/real estate lifecycle from land registration/mapping to management to development to remediation and re use.
