Assistant Land Specialist - Multiple Locations
Licensed sponsor London, England, United Kingdom Full-time Posted 1 hour ago
At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world's most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good.
Your impact
You will help major infrastructure and development projects move forward by supporting the effective management of land, property rights and the people affected by them.
Land and property considerations can influence how, when and whether a project can be delivered. Your work will help project teams understand who owns or occupies land, identify the rights and interests connected to it, and communicate clearly with landowners, communities and other stakeholders.
This is an entry-level opportunity where you can turn your interest in land, property, geography, infrastructure or the built environment into a long-term professional career. You will be supported by experienced colleagues while contributing to real projects across transportation, water, environment, power and energy.
About The Opportunity
Our Land and Property team supports the land management activities and statutory processes needed to deliver major infrastructure and development projects across the UK. As an Assistant Land Specialist, you will help project teams understand land ownership, property rights, access requirements and the needs of people affected by development. You could contribute to projects across transportation, water, environment, power and energy, gaining broad exposure to how land and property considerations shape successful project delivery.
Working alongside experienced land, property, engineering and project professionals, you will help research ownership information, review maps and property records, maintain accurate project documentation and communicate with landowners, residents, businesses and public bodies. You will gradually build practical knowledge of land referencing, land assembly, consents and statutory processes, with support to develop the technical, communication and project skills needed for a long-term career in the profession.
This role can be based out of our London, Birmingham, Manchester or Cardiff office locations
Here's what you'll need
Land and property is a critical but sometimes less visible part of infrastructure delivery. You will develop expertise that can lead to future opportunities across land referencing, land agency, land assembly, consents, stakeholder engagement and project management.
Learn Through Real Project Experience
You will work alongside experienced colleagues and develop your knowledge through live project work. The team operates across transportation, water, environmental, power and energy programmes, giving you exposure to different challenges rather than one repetitive type of assignment.
Work Across Disciplines
You will collaborate with people from land, property, engineering and project backgrounds. This will help you understand how technical projects move from planning into delivery and how land requirements affect the people and communities involved.
Flexibility and Support
Hybrid, part-time and flexible working arrangements can be discussed. The organisation also describes a package for UK employees that includes free single medical cover, a digital GP service, enhanced parental leave provisions, employee assistance and parental programmes, support for relevant professional development and memberships, paid volunteering time and matched community funding. Benefits and eligibility should be confirmed for the successful candidate’s employing country and contract.
An Inclusive Recruitment Process
Applications are welcomed from people who may not meet every listed requirement. Reasonable adjustments can be requested during the recruitment process, and the organisation states that disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria will be offered an interview
