A UK-based infrastructure developer is looking to hire a Senior Development Manager to lead the strategic growth of a pipeline of large-scale data centre developments across the UK.

This is a senior, commercially focused role that sits at the intersection of land acquisition, planning, grid connection, and strategic infrastructure delivery.

✔️ MRTPI or MRICS qualifications (or equivalent experience)

✔️ Proven track record of securing land and planning consents for major schemes

✔️ Strong commercial awareness and stakeholder management skills

​

You’ll be responsible for:

• Leading end-to-end development of major UK sites

• Driving land strategy and long-term site control

• Navigating UK planning frameworks (TCPA / DCO)

• Working alongside technical, legal, and finance teams to deliver viable, future-ready developments
