• Prepare financial appraisals, site evaluations and supporting business case information to assess commercial viability and investment returns.
• Build relationships with internal stakeholders and external property contacts, supporting the smooth transition of approved sites into delivery and construction phases.

The Ideal Candidate

• Degree qualified in Real Estate, Property, Surveying or a related discipline, with MRICS qualification in progress or recently achieved.
• Experience within commercial property, agency, development, retail acquisitions or a related property environment.
• Strong commercial awareness with an interest in retail property, acquisitions and portfolio growth.
• Excellent analytical skills, with the ability to interpret market data, assess opportunities and support commercially sound decisions.
