Property Manager

About You

Are you an experienced and versatile Chartered Surveyor looking for a unique leadership opportunity where your work supports cleaner rivers, protects communities, and delivers long‑term environmental change?

If you’re a Welsh speaker, that would be a real advantage in this role—but it’s not essential.

Are you ready for a new challenge—one that combines commercial negotiation, public interest, and complex legacy land issues across England and Wales?

Do you enjoy working as part of a collaborative, supportive team where you can make a real impact while continuing to develop your skills?

If so, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re looking for someone who brings strong professional expertise, a proactive approach, and the ability to work effectively with others. Your experience might come from a range of backgrounds, but the following will help you succeed in the role:

• Chartered Surveyor expertise – experience in land acquisition, property strategy, and complex site negotiations
• Leadership and collaboration – able to lead, support colleagues, and work effectively across teams
• Programme delivery – experience securing and managing land interests for infrastructure, environmental, or similar projects
• Stakeholder management – confident working with a wide range of stakeholders and navigating complex relationships
• Organisation and attention to detail – able to manage a varied and sometimes high‑volume workload
• Commercial awareness – understanding of funding, cost recovery, and value for money in public or commercial settings

We know that no one meets every requirement. If this role interests you and your experience is broadly aligned, we’d still encourage you to apply.

You’ll lead on the acquisition of land (through purchase, lease, or licence) and its subsequent management to support the Welsh Metal Mines Programme.

Working as part of a specialist team, you’ll provide professional property and land advice that enables the delivery of mine water treatment schemes and wider environmental interventions.

You’ll also:

• Work collaboratively with internal teams and external partners
• Contribute to the wider Metal Mines Property Team
• Help manage risks and support the delivery of a complex, high‑profile programme
• Play a key role in enabling projects that protect the environment and local communities

This is a hybrid role involving regular travel to sites across the Welsh Metal Mines. While being based in Wales would be an advantage, we welcome applications from candidates based elsewhere, as long as they can reasonably travel to site locations and our Mansfield office.

Successful candidates must pass basic security checks and will be subject to UK Immigration requirements.

• Cutting‑edge pension scheme with an employer contribution rate of approximately 28.97%
• Recognition scheme that celebrates your contributions
• Flexibility in working patterns, including full‑time, part‑time, or compressed hours
• Flexible working arrangements tailored to your needs
• Generous holiday allowance of 27.5 days annually, plus the flexibility to add 6 extra days, alongside 8 public holidays
• Comprehensive parental leave policy with 26 weeks of full pay (subject to eligibility)
• Support to further your professional qualifications and payment for one annual professional subscription
• Free, confidential Employee Assistance Programme
• Exclusive employee discounts
• Annual health check and £15 monthly towards well‑being activities
• On‑site free parking and complimentary tea, coffee and soft drinks at our Mansfield office
