The Role
You will take part in a two-year graduate programme providing successful candidates with a number of rotational placements across our Development teams including land, development management, project management, on site delivery, sales and marketing, and others. The programme is designed to provide you with the relevant training and work experience to allow you to grow into a competent, professional and well-rounded member of the Development business with a strong understanding of what each team does and how they operate.
We offer a structured programme supporting you with our graduate competency matrix, and also provide management training through our prestigious Aspiring Managers course hosted externally where you will earn an Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) qualification. We will also support graduates with professional qualifications such as APC for full RICS accreditation if relevant.
Responsibilities
You will take part in seven rotations ranging from 2-6 months depending on the department. For example, one rotation will include working as part of the Project Management and Commercial team. Here you will learn about risk management, the cost planning process along with project management skills and knowledge to enable you to support and ultimately manage programmes necessary for the smooth running of a project.
You will provide dedicated support on a range of residential projects, including mixed tenure, residential-led mixed use schemes, whilst also contributing to the successful operation of a regional Development team. You will develop skills to help you understand and take responsibility for maintaining relationships with stakeholders including Local Authorities, developer partners, and our housing management colleagues.
Rewards and Benefits
In exchange for your commitment and dedication, we will provide you with a generous benefits package that includes:
- 25 days holiday, rising each year up to 30 days after 3 years of service. You will also be entitled to all UK public holidays.
- Season ticket loans
- Company Bonus Scheme of up to 5% of your salary
