Recruiter in residential development and house building

I am working with one of the leading names in house building and placemaking, and they are looking to strengthen the team with a land manager.

The role would focus on identifying, negotiating and acquiring new sites in West London, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire areas and working closely with land agents and housing associations to secure new sites. You would report to the Land Director and have full autonomy over projects with the position being a high-profile one in the business.

You will have a portable book of contacts in the residential development agency world and have a demonstrable history. You will have an intimate knowledge of the planning process and know how to project manage planning applications through the planning system.

You will work closely with the internal and external consultants to successfully manage the projects through the development lifecycle.

Ideally, you will currently be working for one of the leading house builders or residential property developers, but I am also keen to hear from senior candidates working in development consultancy.

It is essential that you have experience in land buying for large Plc house builders or residential developers, and that you have worked in the west London, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire area.

• Sourcing off‑market land for purchase in west London, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire area.
• Keeping in contact with housing associations looking to do partnership JV’s.
• Liaising and negotiating with landowners and agents of potential purchases.
• Overseeing legal, planning and design consultants pre and post‑acquisition.
• Keeping up to date with town planning policy, and specifically in key areas you are targeting for letter writing.

Expected experiences

• Degree‑qualified and ideal property‑related.
• Natural‑born deal maker doing 2-3 land deals a year consistently.
• Experienced senior land manager or land manager ready to make the step up.
• Demonstrable track record of sourcing and acquiring land.
• Currently working for either a national residential developer, a high‑profile investor, or an agency.
• Detailed understanding of the planning application and appeals process.
• A strong network of contacts in the land agency world.
• Determined, hungry and ambitious.
