Development Manager / Project Manager Construction Consultancy

Job Title Development Manager / Project Manager

Salary and Package Up to £85,000 basic salary depending on experience Performance-related bonus Private healthcare Professional fees paid Fully remote working

The Opportunity

A growing specialist property consultancy is looking to appoint an experienced Development Manager or Project Manager following the award of two new Development Management instructions.

The initial projects are residential schemes near Cardiff – one new-build apartment development and one conversion – providing a substantial and visible workload for approximately the next 18 months.

This represents a growing area of the consultancy rather than an isolated pair of instructions. The business is already delivering Development Management on significantly larger projects elsewhere in the UK, including schemes around £100m, and sees considerable scope to build this part of its service offering further.

The Role

You will take responsibility for the Development Management of the initial Cardiff projects, working closely with the client and wider professional teams to drive the schemes forward.

The role could suit an established Development Manager or an experienced consultancy Project Manager looking to broaden their remit and take greater responsibility across the development process.

The business is interested in good Project Managers / Development Managers with the judgement, commercial awareness and experience to operate effectively across Development Management.

Candidate Profile

Experienced Development Manager or Project Manager Background within a recognised property or construction consultancy Strong client and professional team management skills Commercially aware with the confidence to take ownership of projects Residential development experience advantageous Comfortable operating autonomously within a fully remote environment Based within the South West, Bristol or South Wales with straightforward access to Cardiff

Why This Role

Two secured Development Management projects providing approximately 18 months of initial workload Opportunity to help develop a growing Development Management service Existing exposure within the business to substantially larger DM projects Experienced senior team with direct access to the owners High degree of autonomy and trust Fully remote working External training and professional development supported Predominantly delivery-focused environment Growing consultancy continuing to win significant new work

Ways of Working

This is a fully remote position with no requirement for routine office attendance. The role will naturally involve travel to the initial projects near Cardiff, so candidates should be based within a practical South West / Bristol / South Wales patch.

The wider working model is built around autonomy, trust and accountability, giving experienced people considerable control over how they manage their workload.
