Job description

Looking for a rural surveying role that will allow you to get out and about across East Anglia, without being pigeonholed into a particular discipline? We are looking for a land agent to do a mix of management, valuation and other professional work to join our growing team in Cambridge.

In this role, main tasks will include:

• Servicing an existing workflow of taxation and specialist valuation advice within our Eastern regional teams, with an emphasis on Cambridgeshire and their adjacent counties in both cases.
• Day to day professional advice to a mixed portfolio of estate and land-owning clients.
• A business development focus both regionally, with professional contacts; as well as industry specialist firms and secured lending institutions in London.
• The valuation of a range of rural asset classes, including farms and farmland, rural diversified estates, residential, commercial and energy assets; woodland and nature assets; heritage and specialist agricultural assets.

What it’s like working for us

You’ll bring your experience and apply it to some exciting client portfolios and projects – from national institutions such as The Crown Estate to Cambridge Colleges, and innovative farming businesses to privately-owned estates which have been in the family for generations.

In doing so, you’ll pick up loads of new experience which will propel you forward in your career – whether that’s learning on the job with a team that will both support you and empower you to work autonomously, or through formal training that can be tailored to your needs.

You’ll also be joining a team that likes to socialise, whether that’s a pint after work or a barbecue and garden games at one of our homes.

The experience we’re looking for

Rural estates are changing, and this means that we’re able to open applications to a wider pool of people than ever – and we’re as keen to hear from you if you’re looking to refocus into rural, as we are if you’ve been a rural surveyor since the beginning of your career.

If you’re RICS-qualified and have post-qualification experience, we can teach you the rest. Got significant experience? Our team is always growing and evolving, so we can work with you to shape a role and a package that works for your experience and goals, and our clients’ needs.

We offer a highly competitive rewards package including group pension, flexible benefits, referral schemes and generous annual leave.

As an equal opportunity employer, we are dedicated to driving diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Learning and development is important to us; we encourage everyone to continue developing to optimise their performance and fulfil their potential. We have an agile flexible working policy; many of our team work flexibly, we would be happy to talk to you about how this could work for you. We enjoy what we do, and we do it well, which is why 80% of our business comes from repeat clients.
