About You
You will be an experienced commercial property professional with
MRICS qualification and a strong background in asset management. You will have excellent analytical skills and the ability to understand strategic objectives while effectively managing a busy and varied caseload.
We are looking for someone who is:
- MRICS qualified – essential.
- Experienced in commercial/non-residential property asset management.
- Strong across landlord and tenant matters, disposals and estate management.
- Comfortable undertaking DCF and other property/investment analysis.
- Able to produce succinct, accurate and high-quality committee reports.

Location Requirement
Local knowledge and proximity to the client are important for this role. The successful candidate must be able to attend the
Worthing office for hybrid working dats and should ideally already be based within the South Coast area.
Applications from candidates who are
London-based or whose experience is predominantly London-focused are unlikely to be suitable. We are specifically looking for someone with a strong understanding of the South Coast/local property market.
Local Authority experience is
not essential, although candidates with a combination of
local authority and private sector commercial property experience would be particularly attractive.
This is a commercial, non-residential asset management position and is not a maintenance or facilities management role.
Key Requirement
MRICS qualification is essential.
We are looking to appoint as soon as possible, so candidates who are available to start at short notice are encouraged to apply.
