The Role
An opportunity has arisen within Strategic Property for a Senior Estates Surveyor to lead a group of professionals within the Council’s Estates Team.
Tameside is a place that’s perfectly positioned for growth. Ideally located between the bustling hub of Manchester and the stark beauty of the Peak District National Park, we offer an ideal location for easy access to the city and the countryside. And with some of the largest pockets of land in the Greater Manchester area available for development, it really is a fantastic canvas for regeneration and growth.
The Council’s property estate is extensive and diverse which includes 2,979 interests comprising 482 operational assets including town halls, libraries, schools, depots, community buildings, sports grounds and parks. Plus the non-operational and investment estate comprising 1,470 assets including surplus buildings and land, leased land and buildings, industrial estates, sports clubs and shopping centres.
The role offers the opportunity to join an experienced team of professionals in a flexible hybrid working environment that will require attendance at site locations across the Borough.
About You
Reporting to a Head of Estates you will be responsible for a core part of the Council’s Estates Service.
You will lead an effective estate management and valuation service for the Council, specialising in property and strategic asset management. Ensuring that the Council grows its real estate portfolio income and delivering key services to residents. The post holder will have previous experience of mixed portfolios, maximising revenues and taking strategic decisions to the benefit of the Estate. An understanding of inward investment and regeneration would be beneficial, but not essential.
As a senior member of the Estates Team and the wider Strategic Property Service you will play a key role in the delivery of Council and Place Directorate priorities. You will support the implementation of a Strategic Asset Management Plan and delivery of all the Council’s projects and programmes.
With your advanced theoretical, practical and procedural knowledge and experience in relation to a whole range of property issues covering buildings, investment assets and land, you should have experience in successful property negotiations and be able to work at pace with enthusiasm and professionalism whilst engaging with and influencing key stakeholders.

Tameside Council and Tameside and Glossop CCG
GROWTH DIRECTORATE
Tameside Borough Council is embarking on a programme of radical change to meet the challenges of modern local government, public service reform and integrated health/social care. Fast paced improvement across the Council and the Tameside and Glossop CCG is being driven by a highly motivated, integrated leadership team, who are pushing the boundaries to dramatically change culture, modernise services and identify innovative ways to manage service demand.
Our Director of Growth has undertaken a review of the directorate’s services and is restructuring to align the resources with the Councils priorities.
Over the next few years a brand new garden village of 2,350 homes at Godley Green, a huge employment site at Ashton Moss and a business quarter will come to fruition in the borough. There are also plans to regenerate five town centres, bring forward major investment in infrastructure, develop the education estate, and deliver the aspirations of the Councils Strategic Asset Management Plan to utilise the Councils Land and Property to achieve Employment, Economic Growth and Housing.
Tameside Council’s overriding challenge is to guide these developments in a way that meets its aspiration to drive inclusive growth that benefits all of its diverse communities.
A new Local Plan will provide an opportunity to deliver high quality, sustainable developments that will really make an impact for current and future generations.
There are also schools and the corporate operational and commercial estates to build and maintain a Climate Change Emergency and the effects of Covid on the economy and the way we work to address.
‘It’s an exciting period for Tameside, there’s so much happening. That is why we think this is an exciting opportunity to join a new team with an ambitious and bold work programme – it is a great time to join us.
