Senior Rural Surveyor

Shape the future of a growing rural business

Following the recent merger of Peter Graham & Associates (est. 2007) with the family firm Paton & Co, we are entering an exciting new phase of growth.

We are now looking for an ambitious and commercially minded Senior Rural Surveyor to play a key role in building the next chapter of the business. This is more than a job - it’s an opportunity to help shape a modern rural consultancy, develop your own client base and make a genuine impact.

About us

We are a team of Chartered Surveyors and Estate Agents with offices in Berwick-upon-Tweed, Elgin and the Black Isle. Our work spans rural land management and professional services across Scotland and Northern England.

We combine deep local knowledge with practical, high-quality advice- delivered with a personal, relationship-led approach that sets us apart.

The opportunity

This is a senior, outward-facing role with a strong emphasis on business development and client leadership.

You will take ownership of growing our presence across Scotland and Northern England- identifying opportunities, winning instructions and building lasting client relationships- while being supported by an experienced and collaborative wider team.

Alongside this, you will deliver a broad and interesting mix of rural professional work, including:

• Rural property and land management

• Valuations and landlord & tenant matters

• Renewables and energy projects

• Natural capital and emerging environmental markets

• Compensation and compulsory purchase work

This role offers real scope to build something of your own within a supportive, well-established business.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone who combines technical strength with commercial drive and a genuine enthusiasm for rural business.

You will bring:

• RICS-accredited degree (or equivalent) with post-qualification experience

• Registered Valuer status

• A proven track record in business development and fee generation

• Confidence in winning and leading client instructions and developing key relationships

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills

• The ability to work independently while contributing to a wider team

Experience in renewables or infrastructure work would be advantageous, but not essential.

A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle is required.

Why join us?

This is a rare opportunity to step into a senior role at a pivotal moment for the business. You’ll have the freedom to grow your own portfolio, influence direction and be part of a forward-thinking team.

We offer:

• Competitive salary, commensurate with experience

• Flexible base across our office network (Berwick-upon-Tweed preferred)

• Private healthcare

• Generous holiday allowance

• Company pension
