Based near Truro, Cornwall

Are you a Rural Practice Surveyor looking for a role where no two days are the same?

We are seeking an ambitious and motivated Rural Surveyor to join the management team of a substantial and progressive Cornish estate. This is an exceptional opportunity to take responsibility for a diverse portfolio spanning agricultural, residential, commercial and environmental interests, while gaining exposure to a wide range of professional work rarely found within a single role

The Role

Reporting to the Land and Property Director, you will have day-to-day responsibility for part of the estate portfolio and play a key role in its ongoing management and development.

Your work will include:

• Management of agricultural, residential and commercial tenancies
• Rent reviews, lease renewals and general landlord and tenant matters.
• Regular property inspections and estate management responsibilities.
• Leasing and letting of residential, agricultural and commercial property.
• Capital and rental valuation work.
• Telecoms agreements, wayleaves, easements and compensation matters.
• Management of compulsory purchase and compensation claims
• Supporting planning, diversification and small-scale development projects.
• Assessment and implementation of renewable energy opportunities
• Delivery of natural capital and environmental land management projects.
• Working closely with tenants, stakeholders, consultants and professional advisers.
• Supporting the strategic management and long-term success of the wider estate portfolio

This is far more than a traditional estate management role.

You'll be given the autonomy to manage your own workload while gaining exposure to a broad range of rural professional disciplines. One day you could be negotiating a lease renewal, the next reviewing a renewable energy proposal, advising on a natural capital project, undertaking a valuation or working with consultants on a development opportunity.

The estate encourages involvement across a variety of projects, making this an ideal opportunity for someone who wants to broaden their professional experience and develop into a well-rounded rural surveyor.

About You

We're looking for someone who is passionate about the rural sector and enjoys building strong relationships while managing a varied workload.

You will have:

• RICS qualification in Rural Practice.
• Ideally at least 3 years' post-qualification experience.
• Fellowship of the CAAV or be actively working towards it.
• A strong rural background, ideally with experience of livestock and/or arable farming.
• Experience in rural estate management and/or rural property management.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• A proactive, professional and solutions-focused approach.
• High levels of integrity, attention to detail and commercial awareness.
• The ability to work independently and collaboratively.
• A full UK driving licence and access to your own transport.

Why Join Tregothnan?

This is a rare opportunity to develop your rural surveying career within a progressive estate that combines heritage, environmental stewardship and commercial enterprise. You'll enjoy a genuinely varied role, work alongside experienced professionals and contribute to the long-term success of a remarkable Cornish estate.
