Our Land Buyer play a critical role in the overall success of the business, and we'll ensure you have all the tools needed to be successful. You can be expected to be trusted, respected, and supported in your career with us.
Our in-house team of experts, which include Architects, Planners, Technical, Legal, Commercial and Construction teams, enable you to create offers efficiently and effectively, drawing from their wealth of experience and specialist knowledge. Our Colleagues, including Senior Management, are very much land focused and work together towards our aligned goals.
In this a fast-moving and all-encompassing role, you will be responsible for the full life cycle of land buying, including:
* Investigating opportunities through an extensive network of contacts
* Identifying sites directly through your own efforts of targeted marketing
* Desktop research, data analysis and utilising Land Insight
* We believe there is nothing better than seeing something for yourself to appreciate which sites will meet our customer's needs, so we would want you to visit your target towns in person
* Carrying out site appraisals, creating reports and proposals
* Managing the offer and negotiation process
Working with your Land Director and wider team to help formulate the land acquisition strategy for the division.
About you
We are looking for motivated, ambitious, and proactive people to join us at this exciting time. You'll have a genuine passion for land acquisition and development, and be keen to build your skills, knowledge, and experience.

We also have Colleagues who joined us directly from Property and Land Agencies.
There are a range of roles within the Land teams but what everyone here has in common is an unwavering passion for their work, dedication, self-motivation, and a hunger for success.
This is supported by a strong desire and support from the Executive Directors to secure good quality sites for our developments.
We are looking for people who are confident and competent drivers, with a valid UK drivers' licence as you'll be spending a large proportion of your time out of the office.
How you'll be rewarded
