What would I be doing?
Our excellent graduate programme and APC support aims to provide you with the best start and progression opportunities in your professional career as a Surveyor or Planner. To support our on-going growth, we are looking to recruit a Graduate in compulsory purchase team, within our Advisory division.
Supporting the team with the following:
- Handle all elements of compulsory purchase and compensation acting for both affected parties and acquiring authorities, including:
o Making and advising on compensation claims and preparing property cost estimates;
o service of Blight Notices and negotiation of sale following such;
o receiving and responding to temporary and permanent land occupation notices and claim management thereafter;
o closing out of existing claims;
o advising clients in advance of Notices being served, responding to consultations and dealing with submissions to public inquiry (or similar);
o advising acquiring authorities on engagement with affected land owners and other interests;
o undertaking engagement with those parties;
o reviewing of notices to be served on land interests.
What are the requirements? We are more than happy to teach you all the technical skills you need, it is your personal attributes and commitment to the role that is key. Ideally, you will:

- Have a positive, can-do attitude and be able to identify and solve problems;

What's in it for me?
Benefits include enrolment on our award-winning graduate training programme, 25 days holiday and bank holidays, your birthday off after 12 weeks of service, social and sporting activities, annual discretionary bonus, employee assistance programme and money saving shopping portal.
