£DOE + Car Allowance + Mileage Hybrid | Field‑based across Basingstoke

We're working with a major utilities and infrastructure provider who are looking for an experienced Consents Advisor to secure the land rights and permissions needed for essential network upgrades. This role requires someone who can manage their own patch, and confidently engage with landowners and stakeholders.

You'll be responsible for securing the consents required for survey and construction activity across the region. Your work will include:

• Negotiating voluntary wayleaves, access agreements and permissions
• Liaising with landowners, tenants, agents and local stakeholders
• Managing objections and resolving concerns professionally and efficiently
• Supporting the delivery of utilities and infrastructure projects, ensuring all consents are in place
• Coordinating with surveyors, engineers, ecologists and contractors to facilitate site access
• Preparing and issuing notices where required
• Maintaining accurate land schedules, records and CRM updates
• Contributing to wider consents processes, including elements linked to CPO, DCO and TWAO where relevant
• Attending site meetings and representing the project with confidence

You'll already understand land access and be comfortable working independently. Experience in any of the following is ideal:

• Wayleaves, land access or land rights
• Utilities, telecoms, broadband or energy
• Property management, estate management or rural surveying
• Landowner liaison or stakeholder engagement
• Land referencing or permissions work
• Exposure to CPO, DCO, TWAO or statutory infrastructure processes (desirable but not essential)

You'll be confident communicating with a wide range of people, comfortable travelling across your patch, and able to manage multiple live cases with accuracy and professionalism.

• Competitive salary + car allowance + mileage
• Hybrid working with autonomy over your schedule
• A stable pipeline of long‑term infrastructure projects
• A supportive team that values experience and independence
• The chance to work on meaningful, region‑shaping schemes
