The Opportunity

An opportunity has arisen to join the Valuation Advisory team at Cushman & Wakefield, based in Leeds.

We are seeking a motivated and commercially minded surveyor to join our growing valuation team. This role is ideally suited to a recently qualified MRICS surveyor or someone with up to two years' post-qualification experience who is looking to develop their career within a leading global real estate advisory business.

The successful candidate will work alongside experienced valuation professionals, delivering high-quality valuation advice to a broad client base including lenders, investors, developers and property companies. This is an excellent opportunity to build technical expertise, gain exposure to a diverse range of valuation instructions, and develop your career within a supportive and collaborative team.

Key Responsibilities

Undertake valuations for a variety of purposes, including:

• Secured lending
• Financial reporting
• Acquisitions and disposals
• Portfolio analysis
• Strategic advisory assignments

Core Duties

• Carry out property inspections and prepare valuation reports in accordance with RICS Red Book standards.
• Deliver high-quality valuation and advisory services across a broad range of commercial property assets.
• Develop and maintain strong client relationships through professional communication and excellent service delivery.
• Work closely with colleagues across agency, capital markets, lease advisory and valuation teams nationally.
• Build market knowledge to support valuation advice and identify emerging market trends.
• Contribute positively to a collaborative team environment while continuing to develop technical knowledge and professional expertise.

Skills & Experience

• MRICS qualified (or recently qualified).
• Ideally up to two years' post-qualification experience within commercial valuation.
• RICS Registered Valuer status is desirable but not essential.
• Experience preparing valuation reports for secured lending, financial reporting and advisory purposes.
• Strong analytical, organisational and report-writing skills.
• Commercial awareness with confidence in client-facing situations.
• Ability to manage workload effectively, working both independently and collaboratively.
• Full UK driving licence required.

I would also make one further change to the What We Offer section to reinforce that this is a development opportunity:

• Opportunity to work within a leading global real estate advisory business.
• Exposure to a diverse range of valuation instructions and clients.
• Supportive team environment with experienced colleagues.
• Structured professional development and clear career progression.
• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Flexible and hybrid working environment.

This version reads as a role for a recently qualified surveyor while still giving you the flexibility to appoint someone more experienced if the right person comes along.
