Construction Planner
Salary: Competitive Salary with flexibility plus generous package
Could you deliver one of the UK’s most significant landmark developments?
YTL Developments (YTLD) is an ambitious, innovative and aspirational company that aims to bring a radical, new approach to development by creating sustainable communities that understand and meet the needs of people. Their ambition is to create neighbourhoods designed to promote the happiness, wellbeing and creativity of the people who live, work and visit them. The Group has a clear history of long-term commitment in the UK with the aim to develop and invest in their businesses for continued growth and return.
YTLD is transforming the former Filton Airfield into Brabazon, a thriving new neighbourhood for Bristol. Located in North Bristol this new urban community has outline planning for 2,675 new homes, 62 acres of employment space, acres of parkland, new schools and education district and a thriving town-centre.
At the heart of Brabazon will be a new arena complex and train station making it one of the most well-connected entertainment districts in the South-West. This 380-acre development is seen as one of the most significant and impactful developments in the region.
The Role
Over the next four years to 2025, YTL Developments intends to undertake a number of major projects including Community Hub, Infrastructure, Parks and Green Spaces and Phase 1 and 2 Residential.
The Group is making significant capital investment into this construction programme and with the potential to increase with the inclusion of projects such as Commercial offices, Student Accommodation and built to rent apartments.
Having completed the planning and design of the outline mixed-use Brabazon masterplan, primary infrastructure, major transport requirements and Residential Phase 1 and 2, the successful build of the next phases is now priority.
Key duties/responsibilities
The Senior Planner is responsible for leading the build planning across a range of phases and schemes on the site. Reporting to the Operations Director, the Senior Planner will:
- Oversee and undertake planning analysis, tasks, and activities, acting as a subject matter expert and monitor reporting, schedules and plans and their accuracy to inform decision making, ensuring compliance with applicable regional standards and procedures.
- Assist in the co-ordination of prospective and live projects within the wider Brabazon Masterplan.
- Work closely alongside other members of the project teams to develop, monitor and maintain contracts and programmes.
Skills / Abilities /Experience
The ideal individual will have significant and demonstrable career experience planning the build of residential, commercial, public sector and mixed-use schemes. This individual will have built their career in a main contractor or national developer with a structured delivery function.
Proven experience in high end, differentiated housing, commercial and mixed-use developments is critical given the complexity of the Brabazon programme so the ability to work within a larger programme of works including large scale infrastructure, utility and public park projects is important.
Strong management skills and ability to take difficult decisions are naturally important, with the ability to work with a large and diverse senior leadership team.
This is a critical position carrying significant responsibility for the successful delivery of an early phase of an important and landmark scheme. This is a long-term project with multiple phases which will focus a great deal of attention on YTL Developments. The Group will continue to invest in other developments nationally so opportunity will arise beyond this project.
This senior appointment will enjoy appropriate levels of autonomy. The successful candidate will enjoy a stimulating and rewarding high profile role with a genuine opportunity for significant career progression.
