New Development Role - East Midlands - Living Sector
Property development requires a combination of commercial instinct, sound judgement, and the ability to turn an opportunity on paper into a successful scheme. For someone who enjoys the variety of that journey, this is an opportunity worth exploring.
An established property investor-developer in the East Midlands has a healthy pipeline of opportunities and a clear appetite to continue growing its portfolio. With projects to progress and further sites to pursue, there is scope for an experienced development professional to make a meaningful contribution to both the existing pipeline and the future direction of the business.
Role Overview
The appeal lies in the breadth of the role. From appraising opportunities and assessing viability through planning, design, and delivery, to seeing projects through to completion, you will have the opportunity to remain involved throughout the development lifecycle. It is a position that calls for someone who enjoys looking at the bigger picture, understanding where value can be created, and navigating the practical challenges that come with bringing a scheme forward.

Why Now?
The wider market makes this an interesting time to be involved in development. Construction costs, funding, planning, and viability continue to cause most to lean away from pursuing development opportunities. For the right individual, this presents an opportunity to apply their experience, influence key decisions, and make a tangible difference.
