Job summary

Working in a team with Juliette Jackson our Senior Planning and Enabling Manager and Jon Turner our South West Head of Planning and Enabling, the Planning Enabling Manager will play a critical role in project management of residential led/mixed use development projects, de-risking and securing planning certainty (including masterplanning/consents/S106 agreements and planning conditions), commission and managing capital works contracts (e.g. demolition, remediation, infrastructure)and ensuring key objectives related to design and quality of place, social value and levelling up are achieved. 

Job description

ou will be responsible for a portfolio of complex development projects across the South of varying scale and be required to take an innovative and creative approach to resolving complex planning, technical and legal issues. 

 

You will also at times support acquisitions colleagues in assessing planning and development risk and help to prepare project delivery strategies. You will support disposal colleagues in assessing tenders and layouts to ensure compliance with the planning framework and quality standards set for our schemes. You will be joining our large, friendly, experienced and highly skilled team, who are committed to making positive change and supporting how the Agency delivers its overarching Mission.

 

This is a rare chance to shape the future of the Southern area in a fast growing, national organisation with real social purpose. Working positively with key stakeholders and partners, appointing specialist consultants, and working with a range of professional multidisciplinary internal professionals, you will ensure efficient, consistent and effective resolution of delivery challenges. You will have the opportunity to support the wider sector to tackle the housing and regeneration challenges faced by communities around the Country, to enable the delivery of new homes and housing-led, mixed use, regeneration and development. 

 

There are a number of ambitious projects to get involved with across the South and this is an excellent opportunity to balance day to day delivery whilst bringing innovative solutions to the Southern Development Team offering. 

 

Person specification

Whilst our day job is to deliver first class customer service to our stakeholders and partners, whilst ensuring delivery of projects, you will be used to "spinning several plates" at once and will always be looking for ways to improve and innovate.

 

You'll be comfortable supporting the Regional Director, Heads Of and Project Directors within the Southern  team (as well as working with the wide range of Agency teams such as investment, markets, places and partnerships, legal, technical services, risk and commercial) with complex planning and development issues, aiming to help shape, and then deliver, the Annual Business Plan. You will be proficient in project management, town planning and technical delivery matters. You’ll also have experience in collaborative working with a range of stakeholders and internal staff. 

 

Delivering on a mission as bold as ours isn’t always easy. You will be resilient and comfortable managing stakeholders at a senior level and your discussions will always be shaped by a good understanding of the commercial and operational impact of what we do as a Southern Development team. You will enjoy working in an innovative, fun and engaging way and be able to negotiate and persuade.

 

As an experienced development professional you’ll understand how to manage colleagues and be able to demonstrate you can work with others as part of a team in a collaborative, inclusive way.
