Development Manager

This position requires applicants to have a Degree level, or professional membership of a construction related institute, e.g. RICS, RIBA, RTPI, CIOB or experience in project management in the sector. Here at Abri, we’re determined to do our part in tackling the housing crisis by building at least 1,000 homes a year. To support our ambitious targets, we’re looking for a Development Manager to take ownership of a portfolio of development projects from end-to-end. You’ll play a key role in our Development team by seeking build cost advice, carrying out financial appraisals, monitoring costs and income against approved budgets, delivering schemes to contractual deadlines and to Abri quality standard. In addition, you will be identifying opportunities to add value to schemes and identifying and mitigating risks throughout the lifetime of the scheme. With a keen eye for detail and a strong commercial awareness, you’ll take the initiative and identify opportunities to maximise the value of these schemes while ensuring they remain continuously viable. Not only must our new homes be completed to the highest of standards, they have to be delivered on time and within budget so excellent stakeholder management skills and the ability to ensure we always meet or exceed on agreed timescales, budget and customer expectations will be essential. You’ll be working with a range of stakeholders both internal and external including local authorities, Homes England and our development partners so being able to quickly build strong working relationships with a range of stakeholders is a must. We have ambitious goals here, but through your decisiveness, persuasiveness and the ability to find creative solutions, you’ll help deliver on exciting corporate strategy and make a huge impact at Abri that won’t go unnoticed. This is an excellent opportunity to join a team as ambitious, dynamic and committed as you are so if this is the challenge you’ve been looking for, we’d love to hear from you!
