Cobalt is to be partnered with one of the UK’s busiest residential-led masterdevelopers, who are expanding their team in London.
With notable long-term projects secured, at various stages from pre-app to being on site, the industry-leading team are hunting for two new hires. Open on level, to take a lead on one or two of their upcoming schemes – with one of the projects being quite a long term role, both hires will need to have an interest in placemaking, strategy and have the interest and patience to work on such a project, as opposed to managing multiple smaller, fast-paced ones.
For the Senior Development Manager, you must have experience in managing projects through the development process with strong financial and planning acumen, ideally having led on major hybrid applications and regeneration.
For the Development Manager, you will need strong planning and or development experience, ideally both, but as a very team-oriented business they are more about the right “individual”, which will trump experience to an extent. You must be passionate about regeneration and keen to learn from those around you.
You will be involved in (among other responsibilities):
Appraising potential development sites alongside land buying colleagues for planning and development viability.
Managing pre-apps and planning applications through the development process, supporting by external planning consultants – submitting of outline, hybrid and detailed applications.
Optimising sites through S73 and S96a’s
Undertaking due diligence, development appraisals and feasibility and viability studies.
Liaising with colleagues internally as well as managing external consultants.
Negotiating S106 agreements.
Discharging of conditions and dealing with RMAs.
Assisting with CPO and land procurement work.
Attending meetings for Planning Committee, Consultations and similar events in representation of both the Company and clients through the development process.
You will ideally:
Have experience in a consultancy, developer, public body or housing association.
Have a passion for regeneration and placemaking.
Excellent communication, written and numerate skills.
Be a genuine team player.
These roles will suit ambitious individuals who are keen to roll their sleeves up, and in exchange you will gain the opportunity to work on one the region’s most important sites.
Please apply here or give me (Kate) a call to discuss. My client is looking to find the right candidate as soon as possible - so if in doubt, do get in touch. I also have other clients and roles that may be of interest.
If you do not hear anything back within one week, please assume that you have been unsuccessful on this occasion, but I will retain your details for future roles.
When applying to any role through Cobalt, your CV will never be shared with a client without your prior consent. Apply in confidence below or get in touch with me for a confidential discussion about the position via kpm@cobaltrecruitment.com.
