Following continued growth and success, we are looking for a qualified RICS Registered Valuer to join our Rural Valuation team in the West Midlands.
Based in our Shrewsbury office, you will play a key role in delivering a diverse range of valuation and professional consultancy work across the region, while also contributing to a number of high-profile national valuation projects and portfolio instructions.
This is a unique opportunity to become the dedicated valuation specialist within the Shrewsbury office, supported by both the wider rural team and our highly regarded national valuation network. You will work with a broad range of clients and asset types, delivering valuation, landlord and tenant, compensation and wider professional advice across the rural sector.
At Carter Jonas, we offer a competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package, including a range of flexible benefits designed to suit your individual circumstances. Options include purchasing additional annual leave, health cash plans, a cycle-to-work scheme and much more. We also welcome applications from individuals seeking flexible or agile working arrangements.
Main Responsibilities
Working alongside an experienced multidisciplinary team in Shrewsbury, you will help meet growing client demand while contributing to the continued development and success of our rural valuation service. For the right candidate, there will be opportunities to develop specialist expertise within emerging valuation sectors and evolving asset classes.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Delivering specialist valuation advice across the West Midlands and Wales, with particular emphasis on Cheshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire and North Wales.
- Managing an established workflow of valuation instructions while identifying opportunities to grow and develop new fee-earning work.
- Supporting business development activities and working closely with research and marketing teams to raise the profile of our valuation services.
- Assisting with the delivery of financial reporting valuations for a diverse client base, including private estates, banks, local authorities, educational institutions and government bodies, including nationally significant portfolios of natural capital assets.
- Liaising directly with clients, auditors and other stakeholders throughout the valuation process.
- Undertaking a varied mix of valuation, landlord and tenant, compensation and other professional instructions.
- Identifying opportunities to introduce clients to other specialist services across the firm, including planning and development, commercial property and energy.
- Valuing a diverse range of rural assets, including farms and farmland, diversified rural estates, residential and commercial property, renewable energy assets, woodland and natural capital interests, heritage property and specialist agricultural assets.
What Will It Take to Be Successful?
The modern rural estate is increasingly diverse, and we welcome applications from experienced valuers both within and beyond the traditional rural sector. We are particularly interested in hearing from candidates with specialist valuation expertise who are looking to broaden their experience, relocate into the rural market, or apply their skills to a wider range of asset classes.
To be successful in this role, you will bring:
- RICS Registered Valuer status and relevant valuation experience.
- A strong commitment to delivering high-quality professional advice and exceptional client service.
- Commercial awareness and the ability to identify and develop new business opportunities.
- Excellent organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects and competing priorities.
- A collaborative and adaptable approach, with a willingness to contribute to the success of both local and national teams.
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills, enabling you to work effectively with clients, colleagues and professional contacts.
- Enthusiasm, integrity and a proactive approach to work and personal development.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a respected national team, work on a broad and stimulating range of rural property instructions, and build a rewarding career within one of the UK's leading property consultancies.
