Surveying Technician

From £36,482 – £39,845 per annum

Full-time

Hybrid working (based in Andover)

This is an exciting time to be joining the Property and Asset Management team as the council builds on an excellent peer review which described the council as a ‘high-performing organisation that delivers effectively for its residents, with a commendable community-first approach and a strong sense of pride throughout the organisation. It described an organisation in a robust financial position, where leadership is a standout strength and there is commitment to the ongoing development of the workforce’. We are a friendly council that values inclusive thinking and ways of working and we encourage applications from people from the widest range of diverse backgrounds.

This is an important role within our Property and Asset Management Service with responsibility for managing wayleaves, easements and rights over the Council’s land and buildings. It also involves dealing with property enquiries, boundary issues and site inspections, along with ensuring that our property records are up to date and accurate. One day is never the same and the role requires someone who is organised and a confident communicator.

The role will require that you are self-disciplined and can work with minimal supervision and liaise with colleagues in other business areas such as Legal Services and the Finance Department. You will be in a small and happy team of estate and asset management surveyors that is within the wider Property and Asset Management department that includes building surveyors, engineers, and health and safety and compliance officers as well as our in-house maintenance team.

We are looking for someone who is driven to achieve outcomes through working collaboratively both internally and externally. You will ideally have a recognised property-related qualification, or extensive relevant experience, with knowledge of wayleaves, easements, and legal rights over land and buildings. Your excellent communication skills will enable you to liaise with people at all levels both within and outside the council, with a focus on delivery through effective organisation skills and time management.

Test Valley is set in a beautiful part of Hampshire, spanning from north of Andover down to south of Romsey. You can get to London in just under an hour, and as we’re located just off the A303, it’s an easy trip to surrounding towns and cities including Southampton, Basingstoke and Winchester. We offer many benefits including, flexible and hybrid working, generous holiday allowance, local government pension scheme, free on-site parking, a restaurant and discounted leisure facilities.
