We have an exciting opportunity for a Engineering Manager to join our team within Vistry Cornwall South West, at our Exeter office. As our Engineering Manager, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring new projects and development phases progress efficiently from land purchase or contract through to start on site.
The primary focus of this role is to drive the achievement of all key pre‑construction milestones, ensuring every project achieves its agreed start‑on‑site date.
Working collaboratively across Land, Planning, Technical, Commercial, Build, Sales, and external partners, You will coordinate all pre‑start activities to ensure projects are fully prepared, risk‑assessed, commercially validated, and operationally ready. The role requires strong leadership, programme management, and communication skills to align stakeholders, remove blockers, and maintain clear visibility of progress against programme.
A critical part of the role is the ability to find a way when challenges arise. The successful candidate will be expected to think creatively and identify pragmatic, “outside‑the‑box” solutions to maintain programme certainty — whether that means carving out enabling works packages, sequencing activities differently, accelerating specific workstreams, or finding alternative approaches to remove blockers and keep the project on track.

They will champion early engagement, drive accountability, and maintain a disciplined approach to governance, documentation, technical compliance, and pre‑start readiness.
