Job description

Role Highlights

• Join a well-established, client-side organisation with a strong local presence.
• Manage a diverse estate portfolio across Bristol and North Somerset.
• Be part of a collaborative and experienced Estates team.
• Enjoy a varied workload.
• Benefit from secured funding and a robust pipeline of upcoming projects.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Make a Meaningful Impact: Your work will directly enhance the lives in the community, supporting the organisation's mission to build thriving, inclusive environments.
• Diverse Property Portfolio: From heritage-listed buildings to contemporary housing, you'll manage a rich mix of properties-all within a compact geographic area, keeping travel to a minimum.
• Supportive Team Culture: Work alongside a skilled estates team including the Head of Property, Head of Capital Projects, Building Surveyors/Project Managers, and a Projects Coordinator. You'll also benefit from strong partnerships with external consultants.
• Exciting Development Projects: Oversee and manage development projects from inception through to completion with values up to £60m. The role also involves development responsibilities from site identification, acquisition through to occupation.
• Long-Term Stability: With solid financial backing and plans to double the property portfolio, this role offers excellent job security and growth potential.

Who We're Looking For

• Minimum 5 years' experience delivering medium to large-scale new build projects, ideally development schemes.
• Strong stakeholder engagement and project coordination skills.
• Professional qualifications such as MRICS, MCIOB, or APM are desirable but not essential.

Employee Benefits

• Free on-site parking.
• 27 days annual leave + bank holidays.
• 5% employer pension contribution.
• Death in service benefit (x4 salary).
• Enhanced sick pay.
• Subsidised staff meals.
• Free access to on-site gym and swimming pool.
• Healthcare cash plan.
• Long service recognition.
• Flexible working arrangements.
