• Lead design development and coordinate consultants to keep projects moving with clarity and purpose.
• Lead procurement activity and manage contractor relationships.
• Drive project delivery through the construction phase to completion.
• Maintain clear oversight of budgets, programmes and project risks.
• Partner closely with internal asset management and property teams to align development activity with wider portfolio objectives.

Bring your experience, judgement and energy

You will be comfortable balancing strategic thinking with practical delivery and confident working with a range of internal and external stakeholders.

• A client-side role where your contribution will be seen and valued.
• Make a visible client-side impact – influence important decisions and see how your work contributes to the transformation and long-term value of assets across a substantial London portfolio.
• Work closely with experienced leadership – collaborate directly with the Head of Development, gaining valuable insight while having the space to contribute your own perspectives and ideas.
• Build broad, end-to-end experience – work across feasibility, planning, design, procurement and delivery within a varied pipeline of mixed-asset projects at different stages.
