Reporting to our Head of Development, you will be responsible for identifying affordable development sites and opportunities and for supporting the progression of schemes through from feasibility to acquisition, and on to supporting the project post contract development. You will also need to maintain working relationships with consultants, Welsh Government, and local authorities, along with our internal departments in order to continually improve our housing products.
