Natural Resources Wales (NRW) is looking for an experienced and commercially astute Senior Specialist Surveyor to play a pivotal role in the management of our diverse landholding portfolio across North East Wales.

This is an exciting opportunity to join our Land Management and Forest Operations Team, where you will provide expert professional advice on a broad range of land and property matters, including valuation, acquisitions and disposals, estate management, compulsory purchase, and complex legal and contractual issues. Your expertise will directly support high-value, high-profile and often sensitive decisions that help NRW deliver its environmental, operational and strategic objectives.

As a senior specialist, you will lead and manage complex land transactions and projects, working collaboratively with colleagues across NRW as well as external partners, stakeholders and professional advisers throughout Wales and the wider UK. You will use your professional judgement to navigate complex challenges, identify opportunities and deliver practical solutions that balance commercial, environmental and public interest considerations.

Beyond project delivery, you will contribute to the development of strategy, policy and best practice, helping to shape how NRW manages its land and natural assets for the benefit of current and future generations. You will also act as a trusted source of expertise, sharing your knowledge and supporting colleagues across the organisation.

Reporting to the Land Management Team Leader, this flexible and rewarding role offers the chance to make a genuine difference by helping NRW sustainably manage one of Wales's most important public asset portfolios while supporting the organisation's purpose of ensuring that Wales's natural resources are used sustainably, now and for the future.

Driving is essential to this role as it may require site visits or meetings with external partners. You must hold a full and current UK driving license.
