Job description

Overview

Assistant Strategic Land Manager (planning background).

We are working with a leading developer, who are looking to strengthen their strategic land team with an ambitious individual from a planning background, to work closely with the regional head of land, and senior planning manager, on a portfolio of major strategic land schemes. You'd also have the opportunity to develop your skill-set and get involved in land sourcing / acquisition, and development management work, should you wish to.

This role would suit someone with 1-2 years post grad experience, in consultancy, council or at a developer, who is keen to diversify slightly and utilise their planning experience gained thus far, in a wider strategic land role.

You’ll work closely with the regional head of land, and the senior planning manager, who will both mentor and spend time developing your skill-set to enable you to work fully in a wider strategic land role.

On offer is a salary of circa £40k - £50k plus package, including car allowance, bonus, pension, private healthcare etc. There is also some flexi working on offer.

Responsibilities

• Work current and future planning applications and promotion work
• Support the land buying team with appraisals for future land purchases
• Stay current with planning policy updates for local authorities across the South.
• Spend time with the land team to gain an understanding of how the land acquisition & onboarding process works.

Key experience

• Degree qualified and working towards MRTPI qualification
• Experience working on planning applications for 50+ unit projects
• Experience with large, complex strategic land planning applications would be advantageous but not essential.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a well-established developer, with a dynamic team, offering great career development prospects.

Salary is circa £40k-£50k plus package and bonus.
