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.
