Blue Diamond Recruitment has been exclusively instructed by an established property and residential development business to recruit a Technical Manager on a full time, permanent basis.
This is an excellent opportunity for a technically strong professional from a house builder, residential developer or consultancy looking to take greater ownership of projects at the pre-development stage, supporting sites from initial feasibility through to planning approval.
Role
Working closely with senior management, planners and external consultants, you will oversee the technical aspects of residential and mixed-use development opportunities, identifying site constraints, managing technical risks and coordinating solutions to support viable planning permissions.

- Reviewing constraints plans, engineering drawings, technical reports and proposed development layouts.
- Evaluating infrastructure requirements and technical solutions to support site viability.
- Coordinating technical input into planning applications alongside planners and senior management.
- Supporting the progression of planning conditions, Section 106 agreements and other technical matters.
- Managing consultant deliverables, project programmes, budgets and stakeholder relationships.
- Coordinating outstanding technical requirements following planning approval.
About You
We are keen to speak with professionals currently working as a Senior Engineer, Senior Technical Coordinator, Engineering Manager or Technical Manager or in a similar role within house building,
residential development or consultancy.
You will ideally have:
- Experience in civil engineering, technical design or infrastructure associated with residential development.
- A good understanding of site feasibility, technical constraints and the residential planning process.
- Experience coordinating external consultants and reviewing technical information.
- Knowledge of highways, drainage, utilities and infrastructure requirements.
