Director of Land Development
to join their team. This is a high-impact leadership role where you'll oversee the entire land development process - from raw land to construction-ready lots.
This role is perfect for someone who thrives on taking projects from vision to reality and enjoys the balance of
strategic planning, financial management, and boots-on-the-ground execution.
What You'll Be Doing
Lead all land development activities including due diligence, entitlements, permitting, zoning, and construction oversight. Develop and manage budgets, schedules, and financial forecasts to keep projects on track. Negotiate contracts and agreements with municipalities, landowners, and utility providers. Manage relationships with engineers, consultants, contractors, and city officials. Deliver lots on time, on budget, and to the highest quality standards. Mentor and lead a team while reporting directly to senior leadership.
What We're Looking For
Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Business, or related field. 8+ years of progressive experience in land development, preferably residential. Strong skills in financial analysis, negotiations, and project leadership. A proven track record of bringing projects from raw land to finished communities. Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
What's In It For You
Competitive salary + performance bonus. Comprehensive benefits package (medical, dental, vision, 401k). High-visibility role with real influence on company growth. The opportunity to help shape thriving residential communities.
