Development Manager

Job description

The Role

We are recruiting a great role for our client who is adding additional resource into their Development team, due to the ongoing pipeline of projects.

This master developer was set up to build the beautiful and sustainable places that our country needs. They continue to believe that to become ‘outstanding’, new places need to pass two crucial tests:

1.Will new residents be proud, not just of their new home, but of the place they live in? Will it, from day one, be somewhere they want to invite their friends and family to visit?

2.Will their neighbours, some of whose families will have lived in the area for generations, feel that the development work has improved their lives?

To do that this company needed to offer a new form of Master Development: one which didn’t only plan an integrated place, with all the requisite infrastructure, before selling parcels of land to housebuilders but which genuinely put people first.

That means getting to know people across the full breadth of a community and listening (and not just during a formal consultation). It means adapting plans to reflect the real needs of neighbours. It means conducting in-depth research with people yet to even consider moving to the place to understand exactly what they would want from it should they move there one day.

The idea has become a reality. In a short period of time this approach has chimed with landowners and a broad range of projects means our client is looking to recruit likeminded people who want to become part of a very special team.

Desired Skills

You love your work but are looking for a new challenge. You have been successfully involved with large developments and revel in the responsibility but want to approach things a little differently.

You ‘get’ our client has a people first approach and the way that they apply it to the places they create. You’ll also understand that’s how they recruit. We are supporting them to build a team of highly skilled and successful people who are prepared to go out of their way to support each other. They put people first in the office too.

You enjoy working with and alongside people and sharing ideas.

You understand the importance of a rigorous process whilst remaining open to new approaches.

You understand that great communication means being relevant, clear and empathetic whether you are presenting to a landowner or chatting to a colleague.
