Wiltshire Councils Estates & Development Service is at the heart of property management and development excellence. We manage a diverse portfolio, from operational offices to a 4,750-acre rural estate, delivering strategic acquisitions, disposals, and value-driven initiatives that support housing, sustainability, and community development.

We are recruiting for two distinct roles under our career grade framework, which offers clear progression and professional development opportunities.

• Estates Surveyor

  Dedicated caseload working on acquisitions, disposals, portfolio management, supporting housing initiatives and the transfer of assets to Town and Parish Councils.

  Help shape policies on land disposal, property rights, and cost recovery, applying logical and pragmatic thinking to deliver results.

• Senior Estates Manager

  Lead a team of surveyors, manage surplus asset disposal, and oversee complex projects that deliver efficiency savings.

  Drive strategic estate management across a varied caseload, ensuring optimal returns from our investment portfolio and influencing key decisions.

Both roles require a degree in Estate Management and RICS qualification or equivalent experience. For the Senior Estates Manager position, proven leadership experience and the ability to manage multi-disciplinary projects are essential. Strong organisational skills, commercial awareness, and the ability to communicate complex issues to diverse stakeholders are qualities we value highly.
