An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Land Development Project Manager to lead the successful delivery of residential and mixed-use development projects from initial feasibility through to completion. This role will suit a commercially aware and highly organised professional with a strong understanding of the property development process and the ability to coordinate multiple stakeholders.


You will take ownership of project programmes, budgets, planning strategies and delivery milestones, ensuring that developments progress efficiently and in line with agreed objectives. Working collaboratively with internal teams, consultants, contractors, local authorities and landowners, you will provide clear direction throughout every stage of the development lifecycle.

Key responsibilities

About you


You will have proven experience managing land or property development projects, ideally within residential, regeneration or mixed-use environments. A relevant qualification in property, construction, surveying, planning or project management is desirable, alongside a strong working knowledge of the planning and development process.


Commercially astute and solutions-focused, you will be confident interpreting technical documentation, managing competing priorities and making sound decisions in a changing environment. Excellent communication, negotiation and stakeholder management skills are essential, as is the ability to work independently while contributing effectively to a collaborative team.


This is an excellent opportunity to play a central role in delivering high-quality developments and progressing a varied portfolio of projects with significant scope for professional growth.
