This is the time for action - we need to move at pace and reform our energy system - to deliver energy security, to tackle climate change and to protect our people.

Helping society to decarbonise is the biggest contribution we can make to the environment. That's why we're creating new jobs and investing in the critical infrastructure and innovation needed to deliver net zero. So join us, and bring energy to life.

As a result of the energy transformation we are seeing unprecedented growth in our land rights workbook and are looking to grow our new Strategic Infrastructure, Land Rights Team. We're looking for a Surveyor/Land Rights Lead to deliver projects, within the new Strategic Infrastructure team, promoted as Development Consent Orders and/or Compulsory Purchase Orders.

You'll be part of a high-performing team providing an expert land rights service for National Grid. This will be in accordance with current legislation and guidance, best practice and procedure, to ensure National Grid adheres to its licence obligations and ensures we secure land rights for our existing and new assets.

There's never been a better time to work in energy. It's a time of opportunity and transformation as we strive to provide a greener, cleaner energy system for the country. We're looking for people with the skills and enthusiasm to help deliver for our customers today and build an energy network that's fit for the future. In return we can offer you the chance to make a real impact at work. Please view our video to learn more about what it's like to work in our teams.

In this role you can enjoy our hybrid working from office and home. You'll be flexible to travelling to offices and project sites as required.

National Grid continues to offer hybrid working from office and home and are open to full time and part time applicants, as well as flexible working arrangements.

What we do isn't just important - it's essential. That's why we look to recruit experts in their field. In this case, we're looking for someone who has:

• Experience of delivering land activities for infrastructure projects including access to land, securing land rights, and the negotiation of compensation settlements.
• Experience of working collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams (engineering, legal, consenting) to support overall project delivery.
• Experience of providing project and contract management services as part of delivering land rights projects.
• Knowledge and experience of the legal and regulatory parameters that National Grid work within, including the range of statutory powers available, understanding how these then relate to the relevant project strategy and approach.
• Knowledge of the consenting regimes and processes relevant to complex linear projects. This includes the Planning Act (2008) Development Consent Order and Compulsory Purchase Order processes and practice including the compensation code.
• A willingness to train to develop into a land rights specialist.
• Preferably Degree qualified (or equivalent) in a related discipline
• Ideally be MRICS or have demonstratable substantial 'on job' experience.

Don't meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of colour are less likely to apply for jobs unless they meet every single qualification. At National Grid, we're committed to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace for everyone. So if you're excited about this role but your experience or qualifications don't match the job description exactly, we encourage you to apply anyway. You might just be the right person for our growing business in this role or another one.

• Implement National Grid Lands Rights Strategy (and other supporting policies and procedures) in a transparent, credible, consistent and economic way.
