Technical Manager

Cognisant is looking for a Technical Manager

Job description

Technical Manager – Strategic Land Delivery.

London.


Cognisant has partnered with a leading strategic land developer seeking a hands-on Technical Manager to lead the delivery of large-scale, residential and mixed-use sites from planning consent through enabling infrastructure and preparation for disposal. This is a high-impact, end-to-end technical role at a master developer, not a typical housebuilder.


What you’ll do:

  • Lead the technical delivery of multiple strategic land sites, including site servicing, infrastructure, and enabling works
  • Coordinate closely with planning, commercial, and infrastructure teams to ensure sites are market-ready
  • Manage consultants, contractors, and internal teams to deliver quality, cost, and programme targets
  • Provide technical input into commercial appraisals, valuations, and site disposal strategy
  • Identify risks, constraints, and opportunities across the portfolio


Who we’re looking for:

  • Technical, Project or Development Manager with proven experience delivering strategic land or larger-scale residential/mixed-use sites
  • Strong understanding of infrastructure and site servicing
  • Experienced in managing consultants, contractors, and multidisciplinary teams
  • Commercially aware, able to provide technical guidance into appraisals, budgets, and disposal strategy
  • Ideally, experience working for a master developer or on sites where you’ve delivered enabling works for sale


This is not a standard housebuilder role – you’ll have end-to-end technical responsibility across high-profile projects and play a key role in shaping both delivery and long-term value.
