Your Scope of Work
You'll be the person who translates potential into profit, ensuring every land bid is rock-solid. Your core responsibilities include:
* Preparing reliable, detailed land cost appraisals and robust estimates for new land acquisition opportunities across key regions.
* Performing meticulous, site-specific take-offs directly from working drawings and technical documents to feed into land appraisals. No stone left uncounted
* Acting as the essential link between the Land, Commercial, Technical, and Engineering teams, helping to strategise and cost alternative site solutions to maximise value.
* Calculating development cash flows based on anticipated start dates to accurately measure the all-important Return on Capital Employed (ROCE).
* Crafting and delivering sharp, insightful overviews of completed land appraisals prior to submitting a bid-you'll be a key voice in the room
Who You Are
We're looking for a professional who's ready to roll up their sleeves and own this process.
* Experience that counts with at least 3 years of construction sector experience, ideally in an estimating, technical, or commercial role.
* You don't just use Microsoft Excel; you dominate it. You can build complex, reliable financial models and cashflows in your sleep.
* You are inherently self-motivated, exceptionally well-organised, and can work independently to tight deadlines without constant hand-holding
* You have a keen ability to spot roadblocks, recognise problems quickly, and implement efficient, speedy solutions.
* Excellent communication skills for dealing with multi-disciplinary teams-you speak the language of finance, land, and construction fluently.
* As a bonus, you have experience using sector-specific financial/estimation software (e.g., COINS).
Why apply?
* You'll be joining a fresh chapter of a respected regional legacy focused on building more than just homes; here careers flourish.
* You will play a vital, influential role within a company that is experiencing rapid growth. Your numbers will literally shape their future footprint.
* Work in modern new headquarters located in the heart of East Anglia.
