Graduate Development Manager

Job description

Pye Homes is a long-established housing developer with a 98-year heritage of delivering high-quality new homes across Oxfordshire and the surrounding counties. Since joining the Blenheim Estate in 2018, the company has focused on legacy-led placemaking, creating sustainable communities through landmark developments including Park View and Welborne Garden Village.

Responsibilities
The role offers exposure across the full development lifecycle, supporting financial appraisals, viability assessments, and due diligence on new land opportunities. Responsibilities include coordinating technical, legal, and commercial inputs; assisting with planning applications and development strategies; and helping manage planning programmes, milestones, and project risks.

The position also involves working closely with Technical, Commercial, and Sales teams to support the transition from planning through to pre‐construction, ensuring projects are well coordinated and delivered efficiently.

Qualifications

A degree (or equivalent) in Real Estate, Planning, Property Development, Land Management, Geography, or a related discipline.

A full UK driving licence and access to a car.

Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the confidence to build relationships across all levels.

An analytical mindset, with the ability to weigh up opportunities, spot risks, and reach a clear view.

Organised and able to juggle multiple priorities without losing sight of the detail.

Commercial curiosity and a genuine interest in how residential development works, from land through planning into delivery.

A proactive, can‐do attitude and a real appetite to learn, take on responsibility, and grow with the business.

Resilience and adaptability, comfortable working in a dynamic environment where no two days are the same.

A collaborative approach, working seamlessly with colleagues across technical, commercial, and delivery teams.

A placement year, internship, or other work experience in property, planning, real estate, or construction.

Student or affiliate membership of a relevant professional body (e.g. RTPI, RICS).
