An exciting opportunity for an MRICS-qualified graduate or early-career professional to join a progressive rural estate in East Anglia. This is a hands-on role supporting the day-to-day running of a diverse land-based business, offering broad exposure across farming, property, and environmental management.

The estate includes a mix of combineable cropping, let vegetable land, actively managed woodland, and a portfolio of residential and commercial property. You'll work closely with senior leadership, gaining practical experience across all areas of estate operations.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Supporting arable farming operations and land management

  • Assisting with residential and commercial property oversight

  • Contributing to woodland and environmental stewardship projects

  • Is self-motivated, punctual, and professional

  • Enjoys working across varied disciplines and getting stuck in

Accommodation is available on the estate, and training will be provided. This is a rare chance to build broad estate experience in a supportive, forward-thinking environment - ideal for someone looking to grow into a future leadership role while developing hands-on skills in practical farming and property maintenance, and gaining exposure to wider estate operations that could lead into farm management or rural surveying.
