  • Several committed development projects progressing through planning

  • A portfolio of refurbishment and extension works across existing buildings

The successful candidate will take ownership of a number of these projects, including smaller developments and upgrade programmes, while supporting the Head of Technical on larger schemes.

The role also carries responsibility for supporting the portfolio’s sustainability and energy reduction initiatives, acting as an internal champion for improving building performance.

  • Work closely with operators to ensure buildings are maintained and compliant

  • Support sustainability initiatives across the portfolio and drive energy performance improvements

  • Review development agreements and construction contracts

  • Coordinate technical information and building data across the portfolio

 

Candidate Profile

  • Degree in construction, engineering, architecture or related discipline

  • Professional qualification (or working towards) such as MRICS / MCIOB

  • Experience managing development or refurbishment projects

  • Comfortable taking responsibility for projects and working with external consultants

  • Interest in sustainability and improving building performance

APC support can be provided for candidates currently progressing through qualification.

Why This Role

  • Work across a large UK operational portfolio

  • Strong pipeline of developments and refurbishment projects

  • Clear opportunity to grow alongside the portfolio
