The Opportunity

Joshua Robert is partnering with an established and growing property consultancy to appoint a Retail Agency Surveyor to join its Birmingham team.

This is an exciting opportunity for a commercially minded surveyor looking to develop their career within the Retail & Leisure sector.

You do not necessarily need to come from a retail agency background. The business is open to surveyors from an office or industrial agency background who have a genuine interest in retail and are looking to broaden their experience.

Working hand in hand with the Head of Retail, you will gain exposure to a wide range of retail agency instructions while developing your own market knowledge, client relationships and transactional experience.

The Role

You will support the Head of Retail across a varied portfolio of retail and leisure instructions throughout Birmingham and the wider Midlands.

Responsibilities will include:

• Supporting leasing and disposal instructions across high street, retail park and shopping centre assets
• Assisting with acquisition and occupier requirements
• Undertaking market research and comparable analysis
• Supporting the preparation of marketing strategies and property particulars
• Identifying and approaching prospective occupiers
• Attending property inspections and viewings
• Assisting with negotiations and progressing transactions through to completion
• Developing relationships with existing and prospective clients
• Supporting business development and new instruction opportunities
• Building a strong understanding of the Birmingham and wider Midlands retail market
• Working closely with the Head of Retail and wider agency team

About You

We are looking for a commercially minded and personable surveyor with a minimum of 2 years' commercial property agency experience.

Your existing experience could be within:

• Retail Agency
• Office Agency
• Industrial Agency

What matters most is a genuine interest in Retail & Leisure and a desire to build a career within the sector.

You will ideally have:

• A minimum of 2 years' commercial property agency experience
• Strong communication and negotiation skills
• A proactive and commercially minded approach
• An interest in the Birmingham and wider Midlands property market
• Good client relationship and business development skills
• The ability to work collaboratively within a team
• Strong attention to detail and organisational skills
• MRICS qualification or be working towards qualification

You will be ambitious, curious and keen to learn. Most importantly, you will have the enthusiasm to develop your knowledge of the retail market and work closely with an experienced Head of Retail.

Why This Opportunity?

This is a chance to join an established independent property consultancy and work directly alongside a senior figure within its Retail & Leisure business.

The role offers the opportunity to:

• Develop specialist Retail & Leisure agency expertise
• Work directly with the Head of Retail
• Gain exposure to a varied range of retail instructions
• Build relationships with landlords, investors, developers and occupiers
• Develop your own profile within the Birmingham market
• Work across both transactional and advisory instructions
• Progress your career within an entrepreneurial and growing consultancy
• Build on your existing agency experience rather than starting again

Apply

If you have a minimum of 2 years' commercial property agency experience and are interested in developing a career within Retail & Leisure, we would be keen to hear from you.

Whether your background is in retail, office or industrial agency, if you have the commercial property fundamentals and a genuine interest in retail, this could be an excellent opportunity to take the next step in your career.
