The Role:
As Strategic Asset Manager at the National Park Authority, you’ll play a pivotal role in delivering an ambitious estates strategy that enhances the value, sustainability, and impact of our assets.

Together, you’ll develop and implement a visionary five-year estate management plan, shaping the future of our sites while championing sustainability and continuous improvement.
Responsibilities:
- Lead the creation and implementation of a comprehensive estates strategy that outlines plans for asset disposal, investment and maintenance of existing sites. This strategy will ensure that decisions are aligned with the NPA’s long-term goals and priorities, maximizing the utility and sustainability of the estate.

- Evaluate and recommend strategies for the NPA’s assets, including identifying sites for potential disposal, areas that require investment for improvement or enhancement and those that will maintain their current state to ensure ongoing operational effectiveness.

Once approved, manage workload in line with this and ensure that financial procedures and reporting are adhered to.
- Working with the Legal Services Team, and other teams as required, to ensure that tenancies are managed effectively and efficiently. Where appropriate, provide clear instructions to the Legal Services Team as the client to enable any matters to be resolved.
- Supporting the Tenancy Officer through undertaking necessary communications and engagement with interested parties including landowners, commercial operators and the wider community to secure support in the delivery of Estates Team priorities.
- Undertake any other duties appropriate to the grade as required.
