Job Description

As owners of the UK’s largest logistics development and investment portfolio, they provide established and growing businesses with the space they need to succeed. They are specialists in UK logistics real estate, delivering millions of square feet of high-quality, sustainable industrial and logistics space each year.

They actively manage a portfolio of over 100 assets, from small units to large-scale logistics facilities. Using deep sector expertise and market insight, they stay ahead of trends and respond to occupiers’ evolving requirements through a hands-on, delivery-focused approach.

They develop modern, well-designed logistics buildings in prime UK locations, strategically positioned for labour, power and connectivity. With land ready for release, sites under development and an evolving portfolio of completed assets, they can support occupiers at every stage of their journey, aligning location, specification and delivery timing to business needs.

Purpose of the Role

A competitive package is available, including clear progression opportunities and an uncapped bonus.

The role is primarily based in Northampton, with occasional travel to the Manchester office and development sites.

Working closely with senior stakeholders, the successful candidate will be involved across the full development lifecycle, from early site identification and planning appraisal through to planning promotion, condition discharge and delivery.

Key responsibilities include:

• Preparing site appraisals, planning strategies and delivery programmes

• Managing consultant teams and leading planning applications, Local Plan representations and condition discharge

• Identifying and assessing development opportunities, including Local Plan allocations, employment land supply and site constraints

• Reviewing technical reports and providing clear, timely feedback

• Undertaking site visits, attending Local Plan Examinations and managing public consultation events

The Ideal Candidate

Candidates from all planning backgrounds are encouraged to apply. The role suits someone operating in a fast-paced environment with strong planning knowledge, resilience and the ability to manage multiple projects and consultants.

The successful candidate will be supported to develop their skills and progress quickly, with the opportunity to take full responsibility for projects alongside Development Directors.

RTPI qualification, experience in commercial property or development, strong report writing skills and a full driving licence are essential.

This is an opportunity to join a growing logistics developer and play a key role in delivering nationally significant industrial and logistics projects.
