This is an exciting opportunity to assist in the management of the diverse Englefield Estate, extending to approximately 14,000 acres in Berkshire and Hampshire, which is part of a larger property and land business with other interests in London and Scotland.

We are committed to the delivery of enduring economic, social, and environmental impact across our estates through our property, farming, forestry and environmental activities.

The Position

Reporting to the Head of Rural Property & Land, we’re looking for a self-motivated and commercially astute rural land management professional to assist with the day-to-day running of its property enterprises. This will include a wide range of interesting work including the letting and management of a range of agricultural, commercial, and residential property, rural planning, landlord and tenant matters, grants, renewables, and many other matters across a diverse rural portfolio.

The Candidate
