We are looking for an experienced development professional with 8+ years’ experience and a strong track record delivering significant residential projects.

You will need a detailed understanding of the development and construction process, including planning, technical design, procurement and delivery. Previous experience of institutional BTR and forward-funding structures would be particularly advantageous.
