Job Description:
Willmott Dixon is expanding our national Development Solutions team and looking for an Assistant/Development Manager to support our Regional Head of Land and Development in progressing a strong pipeline, particularly across Southern England.
With over five years of successful public sector partnerships, we are focused on growing our development-led opportunities and delivering secured projects. So, this role will involve you seeking new work and advancing existing schemes, primarily through public sector partnerships.
In terms of location and working environment, you’ll ideally be based in Southern England (South London, South Home Counties, South Cost), but due to the nature of the role and us being a national team, you should also be prepared to travel nationally on occasion, with time split between home, our offices (London, Weybridge & Farnborough), and visiting sites/customers.
Key Responsibilities
* Support our Regional Head of Land and Development in progressing projects from feasibility to construction, including research, feasibility studies, and managing consultants.
* Assist in bidding for and winning new work through proposals and commercial structuring.
* Represent Willmott Dixon Development Solutions, developing new relationships and enhancing our reputation.
* Collaborate with regional development managers to grow pipelines, support business development, bids, and attend events.
* Maintain strong relationships with customers, consultants, funders, and stakeholders to ensure successful project outcomes.
* Develop and maintain financial appraisals, working closely with preconstruction teams to align with margin targets.
* Identify and mitigate risks/opportunities to optimise project success.
* Self-motivated, proactive, and adaptable in a fast-paced environment.
* Strong project management experience (developer or construction side), including programme management, risk assessment, and stakeholder coordination.
* Ability to challenge and drive strategic solutions while managing change effectively.
* Commercial acumen, financial modelling, and reporting skills.
* Excellent communication and IT skills (MS Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Teams, and appraisal software).
* Experience in mixed-use developments (town centre, retail, leisure, community, office, residential).
* Understanding of public-sector partnerships, JV agreements, and funding routes.
* Experience working with or for Local Authorities.
Join us at Willmott Dixon, where we combine quality, customer service, and innovation to create a lasting impact.
