There are opportunities for experienced site acquisition and planning surveyors to join the Shire telecommunications team on UK and European projects. On Shire's performance-based service guarantee our role is delivery of site locations ready to build on time.

You'll demonstrate that you fully understand the needs of our telecommunications industry clients on roll-out, upgrade and site-sharing projects. You'll also be able to demonstrate that you can negotiate and secure agreements with site providers, development control officers and local communities.

Effective negotiating is essential; a thorough understanding of the UK's Code of Best Practice is essential; project management and presentation skills are desirable. A focused approach, particularly a mindset of helping an operator to deliver service to its waiting customers, is very positive and will be your target for success in driving forward a project and its contributors.

Surveyors aiming to develop their skills may be recruited on our training programme.
