The Business

Our client is one of Essex's most established and respected property groups, with over five decades of presence across the county. Operating a wide-ranging network of offices, they offer services spanning residential sales, lettings, surveying, financial services, commercial property, holiday lets, and a rapidly growing Land & New Homes division.

Their Land & New Homes team has seen significant growth in recent years, capturing a strong share of the new homes market across Essex - and they're not slowing down.

The Role

This is a varied, hands-on position sitting at the heart of the land acquisition process. Reporting directly to the Land Director, you'll be involved at every stage - from identifying raw land opportunities through to the construction and eventual sale of new homes.

Key responsibilities include:

• Conducting land reviews to identify viable opportunities, including research into demographics, infrastructure, and planning potential
• Monitoring planning registers using LandInsight software
• Using mapping tools to identify and assess potential new sites
• Arranging and attending site viewings and inspections, including photography
• Meeting with landowners alongside the Land Director
• Attending developer networking events and building relationships with prospective clients
• Maintaining and updating the internal database with sites of interest

What They're Looking For

Essential:

• A solid understanding of the property market
• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal
• Competency across Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
• Well-organised with strong time management
• Self-motivated and proactive approach to work
• Full UK driving licence

Desirable:

• Prior experience in a land-focused role is a bonus, but not a barrier - the right attitude and property background will be considered

• OTE: £37,000-£40,000 (depending on experience)
• Company car
• Pension contribution
• End of year profit share
