We are developing a portfolio of renewable energy projects across the Welsh public estate, helping to deliver a cleaner, more sustainable future while generating long-term value for the people of Wales. 

We're looking for an experienced Land & Property Manager to lead land-related activities across a growing portfolio of renewable energy projects.

The Role

Your key tasks and responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain a proportionate land strategy for each project, aligned with the wider development, consenting, procurement and construction programmes.
• Identify the land rights, access arrangements and agreements required for project infrastructure, surveys, grid connections, abnormal load access routes, environmental mitigation and associated works.
• Lead negotiations for options, leases, easements, wayleaves, licences, access agreements and other land arrangements, working with legal and professional advisers as required.
• Build and maintain positive working relationships with landowners, occupiers, tenants, commoners, land managers and representative bodies, ensuring communication is timely, clear and respectful.
• Arrange access for environmental, engineering, geotechnical, wind resource and other surveys, including intrusive works where required.
• Appoint, brief and manage external land agents,  solicitors and specialist advisers, including monitoring quality, cost, programme and performance.
• Maintain accurate land ownership, contact, agreement, payment and access records, supported by appropriate mapping and document-control systems.
• Provide clear advice to Project Managers and the wider project team on land risks, opportunities, dependencies, costs and programme implications.
• Prepare, manage and report land budgets, commitments, forecasts and compensation costs in collaboration with project and finance colleagues.
• Support route and site design by identifying land constraints and opportunities and contribute to design reviews and option appraisals.
• Coordinate land inputs to planning and Infrastructure Consent documentation, consultation, environmental assessment and any compulsory acquisition process.
• Support consideration of common land, forestry, agricultural and rural land management matters, drawing on specialist advice where necessary.
• Ensure land activities comply with Trydan’s policies, governance requirements, health and safety responsibilities, data-protection obligations and agreed professional standards.
• Represent Trydan at meetings, site visits, negotiations, consultations and stakeholder events across Wales.
• Provide ad-hoc land, commercial and project-development support across the wider portfolio.
