Senior Land Manager

An independent house builder in the Chorley area are bucking the regional trend for growth. Instead of sitting on land, they’re moving ahead with applications. Instead of making redundancies, their Land and Planning team is growing. And instead of stalling on sites, they’re looking to grow by 25% in the next 12 months spurred on by a young and ambitious Managing Director.

It’s why they’re looking to bring in a Senior Land Manager to supplement the team, you’d join at a pivotal time where your work will see quick results. They need you to come in and handle the extra workload their team has brought on and you’d join at a time when the team is pushing through several existing pieces of land to build.

They reckon their units per year are going to increase in the next 12 months from 400 to 500 which will be supported by up to TWELVE applications in the next year or so. A lot of work but very positive, especially for the long-term, and no waiting for years for things to happen.

There’s no perfect candidate on paper although they’d be looking for someone more senior that can bring that experience that. In the last 12 months they’ve brought some younger staff into the business - their Strategic Land and Planning Manager who joined them as an Assistant – and will be looking to do so for their next Planning Manager. Their thinking is, if that’s worked once, it can work again – and having a Senior or experienced Land Manager has helped the balance in the team, every works together so you’d be able to guide some younger personnel, too.

They’re an independent house builder and the Director has told me that means you get more of a say in how things are done, you become more rounded as a Land professional and there’s longevity in the business – the company is growing and appointment new staff unlike others in the Northwest. On top of this is a very competitive salary, a bonus, a car allowance and loads of little extras.
