About you

We are looking for an experienced and established Land Manager or a successful Senior Land Buyer ready to take the next step in their career. You will be motivated, ambitious, and proactive with a genuine passion for land acquisition and development.

You'll have the proven ability to manage the end-to-end process from site identification and research to contract negotiation and exchange.

There are a range of roles within the Land teams but what everyone here has in common is an unwavering passion for their work, dedication, self-motivation, and a hunger for success.

This is supported by a strong desire and support from the Executive Directors to secure good quality sites for our developments.

We are looking for people who are confident and competent drivers, with a valid UK drivers' licence as you'll be spending a large proportion of your time out of the office.
