Grow your career and help transform our Borough.
The Investment and Development team at Enfield Council manages a varied, primarily commercial development portfolio, dealing with everything from industrial estates to mixed-use regeneration schemes, joint ventures and land promotion activities.
This role offers an opportunity to influence how Enfield Council optimises its asset base through effective property disposals, asset and development management strategies.
We also work at pace, so if you are someone who enjoys working in a fast-moving dynamic working environment and believe that you have the vision, skillset and experience we are looking for, then it would be a mistake not to apply.

The Role
We are looking for an experienced Principal Development Surveyor, who will manage, develop, acquire and dispose of primarily commercial property and promote land for mixed-use development.
Duties will include negotiating development and conditional sale agreements, managing joint venture relationships, funding agreements, agreeing Heads of Terms for property acquisitions and disposals, instructing and monitoring external agents and working with the Council’s external consultant teams on promoting land for development through the Local Plan process.
The successful candidates will be responsible for a portfolio of projects and workstreams, working within a small, dedicated team which reports to the Head of Property Development.
You will work collaboratively with colleagues in the Property team, Legal, Housing, Finance and other departments, to maximise asset value and generate new revenue streams or capital receipts through the team’s external market-facing activities, raise standards and support service delivery.

The Team
Investment & Development is a small but growing team of property specialists, who are passionate about optimising Enfield Council's property assets and community dividends. We have an ambitious programme of projects, guided by the Council’s Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP) to deliver on the Council's broadest corporate objectives including economic growth, environmental sustainability and expanding opportunities for new employment and housing in the Borough.
We are also growing the Council's capacity and capability in Geographical Information Systems (mapped data) and our aim is to have a property team, to provide Enfield Council with an exemplar professional property service.

The Requirements
You will be an experienced Development Surveyor with strong commercial acumen and proven competencies in a variety of project delivery models and asset types.
You will play a pivotal role in managing a diverse range of workstreams working with a variety of client groups and will need to demonstrate a good understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing local government in relation to the optimisation of its property estate.
You must have a proven ability to generate new income and capital receipt opportunities, as well as the ability to manage expenditure whilst delivering projects on time and within budget.
The role may require you to supervise in-house staff, as well as managing external providers of professional services who support the development management team.
In the Investment & Development team no day is the same and there are constant challenges, but we share a vision; which is to ensure that Enfield’s land and property assets are made the most of, for the benefit of local people.
