PFK Rural is a long-established, independent firm of chartered surveyors and rural land and property advisers with deep roots in Cumbria dating back to 1876. With a broad client base across farming, landowners and rural businesses, we are committed to serving rural communities with professionalism, accessibility and long-term strategic focus. Recognised for combining expert technical advice with genuinely personalised client service, we are excited to be adding to our team at Redhills Business Park in Penrith.
As part of the continued development of PFK Rural, we are seeking a Senior Land Agent to join the team in Penrith. This role offers an opportunity for an experienced rural surveyor to take a key position within a growing department, working closely with the Head of Rural to help shape the direction of the service while delivering high-quality advice to a diverse client base. The successful candidate will operate as a land agent within the RICS definition of the role, applying their professional judgement and experience to a wide range of rural property and estate matters.
The Senior Land Agent will be responsible for providing clear, commercially focused advice across estate management, property management and consultancy work for private, corporate and institutional clients. You will be expected to deliver services to a high professional standard within an effective fee-charging structure, while contributing to the financial performance of the department. Working within established departmental practices, you will also play an active role in supporting colleagues, helping to ensure consistency of approach and a strong, positive team culture.
This role involves close collaboration with specialists across PFK, drawing on in-house expertise to add value to client interests and identify opportunities for cross-disciplinary working. You will be encouraged to contribute to the ongoing development of systems and processes, helping the department remain efficient, competitive and responsive to client needs. There is also a strong outward-facing element to the role, with responsibility for championing PFK Rural across the firm's network of offices and developing new opportunities throughout the wider Cumbria catchment area.
Applicants should be fully RICS qualified with solid experience in rural surveying or land agency. You will be an effective communicator, confident dealing with clients and colleagues, and comfortable managing workloads, financial targets and deadlines. A proactive mindset, strong organisational skills and a willingness to contribute to business development are essential, as is an appetite to continue developing your professional skills in a changing regulatory and commercial environment.
This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated Senior Land Agent to join a well-established rural practice at an exciting stage of its growth, offering scope for professional progression and meaningful involvement in the future direction of the department.
