• Oversee project design development, planning submissions and programme management
• Appoint, brief and manage external consultant teams (e.g. architects, engineers, planners, QS)
• Coordinate with internal teams including development, commercial, legal and finance
• Proactively manage project risks, budgets, programmes and stakeholder relationships

• Represent the client in meetings with local authorities, partners, investors and community stakeholders

• Strong experience in managing multi-disciplinary teams across all RIBA stages
• Excellent leadership, negotiation and communication skills
• Commercially astute with good understanding of development appraisals and contracts
• Ability to navigate planning processes and stakeholder engagement with confidence
• Degree-qualified in a relevant field (e.g. Project Management, Construction, Real Estate, Architecture, Engineering)
• MRICS, MCIOB, MAPM or similar professional accreditation preferred
• A passion for design quality, sustainability, and placemaking

Why Apply?

This is a unique opportunity to join a purpose-driven organisation delivering nationally significant regeneration schemes. You’ll be part of a team that is values-led, design-conscious and committed to long-term impact. In return, our client offers flexible working, a supportive culture, and real opportunity for progression.
