The Vacancy

The Role
We are seeking to appoint a Delivery Development Manager to join our North Team. The North region spans a wide geographical area, covering Birmingham up to the Scottish border, so flexibility and a willingness to travel are essential.
In this role, you will lead the project management of multiple multi-million-pound construction schemes, providing specialist technical leadership across design, construction, and delivery. You will be responsible for ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards. Building strong, collaborative relationships will be key—working effectively with colleagues across the organisation and with external partners including Consultants, Contractors, Local Authorities, Homes England, and others.
The successful candidate will be a recognised expert in construction delivery, with the ability to navigate and resolve complex challenges.
This is a mobile role involving regular travel. You will be required to attend frequent scheme progress meetings, as well as team meetings and training sessions, which may take place outside the region.
If you’re looking for an opportunity to make a meaningful impact within an organisation with a strong social purpose, we encourage you to review the attached job description.
