An exceptional opportunity for a mid-level Residential Development Manager to shape the future of Property & Construction in Nottingham.
Housing delivery across the East Midlands has picked up pace, and Nottingham sits right in the middle of it.

Here's what you'll be doing: Manage residential development schemes in Nottingham from feasibility through to practical completion Appraise potential land opportunities and build the case for acquisition, working closely with the land team Coordinate architects, planning consultants and contractors to keep each scheme on programme and on budget Prepare and present planning applications, handling negotiations with the local authority where needed Track scheme viability throughout the build, flagging cost or programme risks before they become real problems Report progress to senior stakeholders and support broader growth plans across the business Here are the skills you'll need: Proven experience managing residential development projects, ideally gained within Property & Construction Strong grasp of UK planning policy and the development appraisal process Confident managing budgets, programmes and multiple consultants at once A relevant degree (Real Estate, Construction Management, Surveying or similar) is preferred but not essential if experience stacks up Sharp commercial judgement.
You'll need to spot a good deal and a bad one quickly Clear communicator who can hold their own with contractors, planners and directors alike Key perks and benefits: £53,000 to £77,500 depending on experience, plus bonus scheme Hybrid working, with time split between the Nottingham office and site visits Private medical insurance and strong pension contribution Generous annual leave with flexible working built in Genuine progression within a business that's scaling up, not standing still Why pursue a career in Property & Construction?
Residential development in the UK rewards people who can combine commercial thinking with genuine project delivery, and Nottingham's housing market is far from finished growing.
Few sectors offer the same mix of visible output and long-term career weight.
A Residential Development Manager who proves themselves here won't struggle to find the next move.
