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

You’ll also:
- Work collaboratively with internal teams and external partners
- Contribute to the wider Metal Mines Property Team

- Play a key role in enabling projects that protect the environment and local communities
Role location:
