  • Leading on negotiations and JVs with local authorities and RPs.
  • Optimising sites through S73 and S96a's.
  • Undertaking due diligence, development appraisals and feasibility and viability studies.
  • Liaising with colleagues internally as well as managing external consultants.
  • Negotiating S106 agreements.
  • Discharging of conditions and dealing with RMAs.
  • Attending meetings for Planning Committee, Consultations and similar events in representation of both the Company and clients through the development process.

 

You will ideally:

  • Have experience in a developer, public body or housing association.
  • Excellent communication, written and numerate skills.
  • Be dedicated, a hard worker and team player.

If you do not hear anything back within one week, please assume that you have been unsuccessful on this occasion, but I will retain your details for future roles.
