About the position

As a Developer at Enclave, you will play a crucial role in overseeing and managing the life cycle of various development projects, from initial concept through to project closeout. This position requires you to act as a strategic partner throughout the entire process, which includes site selection, acquisition, development, and construction. You will be responsible for coordinating and communicating with various consultant teams, including land planners, engineers, architects, and utility companies, ensuring that all parties are aligned and informed throughout the project phases. Your role will involve driving the development process by regularly updating schedules, budgets, timelines, financial information, projections, and closings. You will also assist in preparing presentations of development plans to city councils and officials, providing necessary reports and data to facilitate entitlement and permit requests. Collaboration with the general contractor will be essential to address any issues that arise and to maintain the project schedule effectively. In addition, you will be tasked with receiving and disseminating critical information to stakeholders affected by schedule changes, city or code issues, and budget variances.

Managing the development checklist and workflow process will be part of your responsibilities, which encompasses land due diligence, risk analysis, feasibility analysis, entitlements, design and construction contracts, easement and covenant review, city requirements, scheduling, and overall budget tracking.
