  • Work closely with project managers, site supervisors, procurement officers, accounting/finance, and other stakeholders to support project-specific needs and objectives.
  • Ensure all pertinent documentation is appropriately classified and available for stakeholders such as but not limited to critical information for Operations and Construction.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, Urban Planning, or related field; advanced degree preferred.
  • Minimum of 5 years' experience in land development, with expertise in acquisitions and due diligence.
  • Proven track record of successful land acquisitions and entitlements in residential development.
