• Focus on producing high-quality outcomes that meet client expectations.
• Carry out site-based work, including visits to locations that may be remote.

Skills and experience

• Strong understanding of the property market, with a solutions-oriented mindset and an appreciation for the value of industry relationships.
• Broad property experience in areas such as site acquisition, valuation, project management, property management, legal advisory, or general property advisory.
• Experience in site acquisition is preferred, especially within Telecommunications or Renewable Energy.
• LINZ accreditation and familiarity with the Public Works Act are not mandatory but would be an advantage.
• Ability to draw on practical experience and make independent decisions to achieve the best result for clients.
• Excellent people skills and the ability to connect with a wide range of individuals.
