Your typical day could start with a site visit to review progress on a multi-tenure development, followed by a meeting with contractors to resolve a construction issue. Later, you might be reviewing financial appraisals and risk registers, before joining a cross-departmental session to plan the handover of completed homes to residents.

As a Senior Development Manager (Delivery), you’ll be the driving force behind the successful delivery of one of Peabody’s most transformative and ambitious development projects. Working on either Plumstead West Thamesmead – which will deliver over 1900 homes forming part of our Thamesmead masterplan; or St Ann’s – a landscape led masterplan delivering almost 1000 homes.

You’ll be at the heart of our construction activity, ensuring homes are built to the highest standards of quality, safety, and customer satisfaction. You’ll lead multi-disciplinary teams, manage complex projects, and work closely with internal and external stakeholders to deliver homes that make a difference.

You’re a strategic thinker and a hands-on leader. You enjoy solving problems, managing risk, and collaborating across teams. You’ll be based in the office for part of the week, with regular site visits and flexibility to work remotely when appropriate to project needs.

Your role covers all aspects of development delivery, from construction oversight and stakeholder engagement to financial management and handover coordination. If you’re passionate about housing, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and want to help shape communities, we want to hear from you.

To be successful in this role, you’re:

• Committed to delivering first-class customer experience and high-quality homes
• Resilient, with a positive, flexible, and solution-focused approach
• Organised, with the ability to manage multiple complex projects and competing priorities
• Experienced in construction delivery, ideally within the social housing sector and with experience of handover stage on large scale, multi tenure developments.

What you’ll bring:

• A proven track record of delivering large-scale, multi-tenure development schemes
• Strong knowledge of procurement and construction contracts including JCT D&B, Development Agreements, and Joint Ventures
• Excellent project management and commercial skills, including financial appraisal and risk management
• A collaborative mindset and the ability to build trusted relationships with stakeholders
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and online platforms; experience with Pamwin is desirable

Here are just a few of the benefits of working at Peabody:

• two additional paid volunteering days each year
• flexible benefits scheme, including family friendly benefits and access to a discount portal
• 4 x salary life assurance
• up to 10% pension contribution
