Senior Development Surveyor

Location: Hybrid / Head Office South East or Midlands-based
Salary: £55,000 – £70,000 + package (DOE)

We are recruiting for a Development Surveyor to join a national infrastructure and property business, focusing on value-add disposals, selective acquisitions, and long-term strategic development opportunities.
Working within a high-performing property team, you’ll be responsible for identifying surplus land and property assets, assessing the potential to unlock value – through planning, repositioning, or lease restructure – and managing disposal strategies to optimise returns. You’ll also support targeted acquisitions to enhance the wider estate or generate long-term development potential.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage the lifecycle of disposals across a national estate, ensuring commercial and planning angles are explored fully before bringing to market
• Support on the acquisition of new assets where there’s clear opportunity for value creation
• Engage with planning consultants, local authorities, and agents to inform value strategy
• Monitor market activity to identify disposal or acquisition opportunities aligned with strategic goals
• Produce and present business cases for development-led asset decisions

Requirements:

• Background in development, asset management or general practice surveying with strong disposal and acquisition experience
• Comfortable working across complex property portfolios with a mix of operational and surplus assets
• Self-starter with the ability to see commercial angles and act on them
• MRICS qualification desirable, but not essential with relevant experience

You’ll be joining a team that plays a key role in shaping the property strategy of a nationally significant business, with scope to influence and deliver material value through smart asset management and development insight.
