• Develop and maintain strong relationships with existing clients, ensuring excellent service and repeat business.
• Identify and secure new business opportunities across the North East.
• Build relationships with developers, investors, local authorities and other key regional stakeholders.
• Support fee generation, commercial performance and the continued expansion of the office.
• Mentor and develop junior colleagues, creating opportunities for career progression.
• Contribute to business planning, recruitment and the longer-term leadership structure of the Newcastle office.
• Represent the business at industry events and strengthen its profile across the regional market.

• Strong professional relationships and an understanding of the North East construction and property market.
• The ability to manage and develop teams whilst maintaining high standards of project delivery.
• Excellent client-facing, communication and relationship management skills.
• Commercial awareness and the ability to identify opportunities for fee generation and repeat business.
• A collaborative leadership style and a genuine commitment to developing colleagues.
