Technical Manager – Strategic Land Delivery.
London.
Cognisant has partnered with a leading strategic land developer seeking a hands‑on Technical Manager to lead the delivery of large‑scale, residential and mixed‑use sites from planning consent through enabling infrastructure and preparation for disposal. This is a high‑impact, end‑to‑end technical role at a master developer, not a typical housebuilder.
What you’ll do:
- Lead the technical delivery of multiple strategic land sites, including site servicing, infrastructure, and enabling works
- Coordinate closely with planning, commercial, and infrastructure teams to ensure sites are market‑ready
- Manage consultants, contractors, and internal teams to deliver quality, cost, and programme targets
- Provide technical input into commercial appraisals, valuations, and site disposal strategy
- Identify risks, constraints, and opportunities across the portfolio
Who we’re looking for:
- Technical, Project or Development Manager with proven experience delivering strategic land or larger‑scale residential/mixed‑use sites
- Strong understanding of infrastructure and site servicing
- Experienced in managing consultants, contractors, and multidisciplinary teams
- Commercially aware, able to provide technical guidance into appraisals, budgets, and disposal strategy
- Ideally, experience working for a master developer or on sites where you’ve delivered enabling works for sale
This is not a standard housebuilder role – you’ll have end‑to‑end technical responsibility across high‑profile projects and play a key role in shaping both delivery and long‑term value.
