Project Developer
We are seeking an experienced Project Developer to identify, assess and progress new development opportunities from initial concept through to investment approval and delivery. The successful candidate will manage projects across the development lifecycle, ensuring that commercial, technical, planning, environmental and legal considerations are coordinated effectively. This role will involve researching markets, evaluating potential sites and opportunities, preparing feasibility studies and business cases, and maintaining a clear understanding of project risks, costs, timelines and returns.
Key responsibilities will include building relationships with landowners, consultants, local authorities, statutory bodies, investors and other stakeholders; leading site assessments and due diligence; coordinating planning, environmental and grid or infrastructure investigations; and managing external advisers to deliver high-quality outputs. You will prepare project budgets, programmes, reports and approval papers, monitor progress against key milestones, and support negotiations relating to land, contracts, permits and other project agreements. The role will also contribute to the development of project strategies, procurement plans and risk mitigation measures, while ensuring that all activities comply with relevant legislation, policies and industry standards.
Applicants should have proven experience in project development, ideally within infrastructure, energy, property, construction or another technically complex sector. You will need strong commercial and analytical skills, with the ability to interpret technical, financial and regulatory information and turn it into practical recommendations. Excellent communication, negotiation and stakeholder-management skills are essential, together with strong organisation and attention to detail. The ability to manage multiple workstreams, meet deadlines and work collaboratively with internal and external teams is required. A relevant degree or equivalent professional experience is preferred, and knowledge of planning processes, environmental requirements, development agreements or investment appraisal would be advantageous.
