Job description:

The Challenge
Are you a motivated and suitably experienced property professional, who enjoys working closely within a team of fellow surveyors and property experts, sharing tactics, knowledge and successes for the overall portfolio, with a passion to be appropriately stretched and challenged with a wide range of responsibilities?

Are you keen to support the Royal Navy, Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) and other Top Level Budgetholders (TLBs) by advising on their estate strategy; undertaking studies, surveys, research, and work on a mix of property types and military capabilities, in support of wider DIO and MOD projects and operational objectives.

You will be based at an existing MoD office location but with the ability to work from home as well as the need to travel and visit TLB sites results in a hybrid approach to working.

This will be further detailed and discussed during the interview process.
The post will require regular travel which may involve overnight stays. Some sites are difficult to access via public transport.
