Your responsibilities will include:

• Delivering refurbishment, lifecycle replacement and capital investment projects across the portfolio.
• Developing project scopes, programmes, budgets and robust business cases.
• Procuring and managing consultants, contractors and professional advisers throughout the project lifecycle.
• Overseeing contract administration, supplier performance, project risks and dependencies.
• Coordinating with retailers, tenants, community representatives, local authorities and other stakeholders affected by the works.
• Ensuring compliance with statutory requirements, planning obligations, health and safety standards, restrictive covenants and sustainability commitments.
• Managing handovers, operational readiness and post-completion reviews.
• Contributing to lifecycle planning, investment analysis, project governance and portfolio reporting.

As Coin Street’s investment plans progress, the remit will expand to include larger capital, development and new-build projects across the estate. This includes future involvement in the Doon Street development, a major mixed-use scheme anchored by a new swimming pool and leisure centre.

While this forms part of the longer-term pipeline, it offers a compelling progression opportunity for the successful candidate.

The Skills and Experience Needed

The priority is someone with a strong track record of delivering refurbishment and capital works within an existing portfolio, combined with experience of, or meaningful exposure to, development projects. Ground-up development does not need to have been the sole focus of your career, but you should understand the key stages and considerations involved in taking a development project forward.

You’ll bring:

• Experience delivering refurbishment and capital expenditure projects throughout the project lifecycle.
• Experience of, or meaningful exposure to, development projects, ideally across feasibility, design, planning, procurement or delivery.
• Client-side experience managing consultants, contractors and professional advisers.
• Working knowledge of project programmes, budgets, business cases and investment appraisals.
• Experience of procurement, contract administration and supplier management within property or construction projects.
• The ability to manage works sensitively within occupied or operational assets, working effectively with tenants and wider stakeholders.
• Working knowledge of project governance, risk management, health and safety, and relevant regulatory requirements.
• A degree-level qualification in property, construction, surveying, project management or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.

The following would be advantageous:

• A relevant professional qualification or accreditation, such as RICS, APM or PRINCE2.
• Experience within a mixed-use estate, social enterprise, charity, community-focused or public-interest environment.

For someone who enjoys enhancing existing assets and wants to progress towards larger capital and development projects, Coin Street offers a rare combination: high-profile London property, genuine client-side responsibility and the opportunity to deliver lasting value for both the estate and its community.
