Full-Time
Rural Surveyor (Associate Director)
Ely, Cambridgeshire
£45,000 - £60,000 + Car Allowance + Profit Share Bonus + Pension
I'm exclusively partnering with one of the UK's most prestigious independent property consultancies to recruit an experienced Rural Surveyor (Associate Director) for their highly regarded Rural team based in Ely.
About the Business
Established in the 1800s, my client has been advising landowners, farmers, rural businesses and estates for almost 200 years. Still privately owned and proudly independent today, they have built an exceptional reputation as one of the leading names in rural property across the East of England.
Combining the heritage, client base and quality of work associated with the UK's largest property consultancies with the culture and agility of an independent partnership, they are trusted advisers to generations of farming families, private estates and institutional landowners. Their reputation has been built on technical excellence, long-standing client relationships and delivering practical, commercial advice across every aspect of rural property.
This is an opportunity to join a business where your work genuinely makes an impact, where quality is valued over volume, and where you'll work alongside some of the most respected professionals in the industry.
The Opportunity
Joining a well-established Rural Department, you'll become part of a collaborative team of experienced surveyors based in the Ely office, supported by a wider multidisciplinary team of rural specialists. The role has a strong emphasis on professional work and valuations, with plenty of opportunity to become involved in agency, development, infrastructure and renewable energy projects as your interests develop. You'll manage your own portfolio of clients, advising farmers, landowners and rural businesses across Cambridgeshire, West Norfolk, South Lincolnshire, Suffolk and surrounding counties.
Key Responsibilities
Providing professional advice to farmers, landowners, estates and rural businesses
Undertaking predominantly rural property valuations, alongside some residential valuations
Managing rural professional work including utility and infrastructure projects, acting on behalf of landowners
Advising on compulsory purchase and compensation matters
Handling rural agency instructions including sales and lettings
Agricultural landlord & tenant matters
Contract Farming Agreements
Rural diversification projects
Renewable energy and infrastructure schemes
Attending client meetings and managing instructions from inception through to completion
Preparing reports, valuations and professional advice
Negotiating transactions and Heads of Terms
Working closely with solicitors, accountants and other professional advisers
Collaborating with planning, development and wider property teams to deliver a complete service to clients
Supporting business development, networking and maintaining long-term client relationships
About You
We're keen to speak with experienced Rural Surveyors who are looking to take the next step in their career within a highly respected independent consultancy.
You'll ideally have:
MRICS qualification
CAAV qualification or be working towards it
Around 5+ years' post-qualified experience within rural practice
Strong experience in rural professional work and valuations
Excellent communication and client relationship skills
The ability to manage your own workload and client portfolio
Commercial awareness and strong attention to detail
A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle (business mileage and car allowance provided)
What's on Offer
£45,000 - £60,000 basic salary
Car allowance
Business mileage reimbursement
Company pension
Annual company-wide profit share bonus
Additional structured departmental bonus
Clear progression to Senior Associate Director and beyond
Exposure to high-quality, varied instructions across rural property
Opportunity to broaden your expertise into development, renewables and agency work
Supportive, collaborative and highly experienced team
Based in the beautiful cathedral city of Ely
The role is predominantly office-based to encourage collaboration and client service, although there is flexibility for occasional hybrid working for the right individual.
Why Apply?
This is a rare opportunity to join one of the country's longest-established independent property consultancies, where heritage is matched by innovation and ambition.
You'll benefit from working with an enviable client base, a diverse workload and genuine career progression, while remaining part of a business that values collaboration, quality and long-term relationships over corporate targets.
If you're an experienced Rural Surveyor looking for a role that offers prestige, autonomy and excellent long-term career prospects, I'd welcome a confidential conversation
