Base Location: Inverness (you'll be expected to spend 50% of your working week in the office).

Salary: £30,684 - £36,666 + a range of benefits to support your finances, wellbeing and family.

Working Pattern: 12 Month Fixed Term Contract | Full Time | Flexible First options available

The role

The Wayleave Registry is responsible for the administration and maintenance of wayleave agreements and associated consent documentation. As a Wayleave Registry Administrator, you will play a key role in ensuring all new wayleave agreements are accurately recorded on internal systems, with documents correctly scanned, indexed, and stored.

You will work as part of a small, supportive team handling a variety of customer and internal enquiries via telephone, email, and post. This includes accurately processing written enquiries relating to electrical apparatus located on third-party land.

The role also involves carrying out wayleave searches, updating and maintaining existing agreements, and supporting the management of associated payments. You will handle payment queries, arrange the reissue of cheques where required, and liaise directly with Accounts Payable on higher-value agreements and payments.

This is a varied administrative role requiring strong attention to detail, excellent organisation, and confidence communicating with customers and colleagues across the business.

You have

• Strong communication skills, with the ability to work confidently with customers and internal stakeholders.
• Experience in an administrative and customer-facing role, with a commitment to delivering high-quality service.
• Good IT skills, including Microsoft Office applications; experience using GIS systems would be advantageous.
• Excellent organisation and attention to detail.
• Previous experience in a property, land, or utilities-related role, or working with Wayleave Agreements, would be beneficial but is not essential.
