Your new role
Our client is seeking a commercially astute and proactive Land Buyer to identify, assess, and secure residential development opportunities across Cheshire, Staffordshire, Shropshire, and surrounding areas.

Responsibilities will include:
Identifying and appraising potential land opportunities (short, medium and long term)
Building relationships with landowners, agents, promoters, and local authorities
Managing the land acquisition process from initial contact through to purchase
Working with internal teams (planning, technical, commercial) to assess site viability
Preparing and presenting financial appraisals and offers to the Board
Monitoring local plans and housing strategies to uncover new opportunities
Supporting option agreements, subject-to-planning deals, and unconditional purchases
Assisting with planning submissions in coordination with planning consultants and architects
Keeping up to date with market conditions and competitor activity in the region
What you will need to succeed:
Experience in a land buying or land acquisition role within residential development
Strong knowledge of the planning system and land acquisition process
A network of local contacts and agents across the North West / Midlands (desirable)
Good financial and commercial acumen with the ability to prepare land appraisals
Excellent negotiation, communication, and presentation skills
Self-motivated and well-organised, with a proactive mindset
Full UK driving licence and flexibility to travel to sites
What you get in return:
Competitive salary from £40,000 - £70,000 depending on experience
Car allowance and performance-related bonus
A genuine opportunity to influence the future growth of a respected developer
Flat management structure - direct access to decision-makers
High-quality, low-volume developments with long-term planning and purpose
Pension scheme, 25 days holiday + bank holidays, and flexible working support
A collaborative, supportive environment that values initiative and commitment
