You will have:
- Significant experience leading technical delivery for volume residential housing developments
- In-depth knowledge of relevant health and safety legislation
- Proven ability to manage budgets and lead high-performing teams
- A strong technical background in engineering, surveying, planning, or architecture
- Excellent problem-solving skills and a keen eye for detail
- Confidence in navigating complex development environments
- Strong communication and influencing skills at all levels
- Proficiency in digital systems such as Viewpoint 4P and Microsoft Office packages
- Able to complete a basic DBS and consumer check as well as have the ability to drive and a full UK driving licence
This is more than a job—it’s a leadership opportunity to shape the future of residential development. If you thrive in a forward-thinking environment and are ready to lead a sector-leading team, we’d love to hear from you.
The closing date is 22 June.
