Land Graduate

The Opportunity

Cobalt is working with a housing developer operating across the North West of England who are looking to appoint a bright, enthusiastic Graduate. Working closely with the Land Director, you will support the delivery of affordable housing schemes from early-stage land appraisal through to contract and delivery.

This is a highly varied, hands-on role, offering exceptional exposure to all aspects of residential development. It would suit someone curious, commercially minded and genuinely interested in how development works in practice.

A property or land-related degree is not required. What matters most is attitude, intellect, and a desire to learn.

The Role

Working directly with and supported by the Land Director, the Graduate will assist across a wide range of development and land activities, including:

• Assisting with the identification and appraisal of potential development opportunities
• Carrying out market research and basic feasibility studies
• Maintaining land and opportunity trackers
• Gaining exposure to contracts, legal agreements and development structures
• Preparing reports and briefing notes
• Learning how affordable housing schemes are structured, funded and delivered

This role would suit someone who is:

• Bright, motivated and enthusiastic
• Curious about property, development and the built environment
• Comfortable asking questions and keen to learn by doing
• Commercially aware, with good attention to detail
• Confident communicating with a range of stakeholders
• Organised and able to juggle varied tasks

Degree discipline is open (property-related degrees welcome but not essential). You will need to be an excellent communicator both written and verbal.
