The successful candidate needs to be dynamic and enthusiastic with a level of entrepreneurial ability and the willingness to take a hands-on approach. This is a diverse role and looking at industrial sites and river structures is something the candidate will need an enthusiasm for.

The Head of Estates will be instrumental in driving this strategy, from identification of sites, to assessing the feasibility for future benefit and seeing the transaction through to completion.
