This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Rural Surveyor, Land Agent, Estate Manager or agricultural professional looking to take the next step in their career.

Our client manages a diverse portfolio of rural assets and enterprises, encompassing agriculture, property, environmental management, leisure and sporting interests.

They are seeking a practical, commercially minded individual who enjoys variety, takes ownership of their responsibilities and thrives in a hands-on estate environment.

Working closely with the senior management team, you'll play an important role in the day-to-day running of the estate, whilst helping to identify opportunities for its continued development.

The Role

This is a varied position offering exposure to a broad range of rural estate management activities.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Rural Estate Management: Supporting the day-to-day management of a diverse portfolio of agricultural land, property and rural enterprises.
• Agricultural Tenancies: Managing farm tenancies, grazing agreements, rent reviews and associated administration.
• Farm Business & Grants: Supporting agricultural operations, environmental schemes, grant applications and identifying opportunities to enhance estate income.

About You

We are keen to hear from individuals with experience in rural estate management, land agency, agricultural consultancy or a related discipline.

You might currently be working for a rural surveying practice, managing a private estate or working within an agricultural business.

Ideally, you'll bring:

• Experience in rural estate, agricultural land or property management.
• An understanding of agricultural tenancies, grazing agreements and rural property matters.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities.
