DEVELOPMENT MANAGER
British Pacific Properties
Founded in 1931, British Pacific Properties (www.britishproperties.com) has played a pivotal role in West Vancouver's development, building master planned communities with spectacular views, as well as such landmark projects as the Lions Gate Bridge, Capilano Golf & Country Club and Park Royal Shopping Centre.
BPP is now focused on the planning and development of major portions of its upland properties, which constitute an area of approximately 1000 acres above the Upper Levels Highway between Marr Creek and Horseshoe Bay below the 1200 ft. contour. It is concentrated on increasingly sophisticated urban planning and design concepts, and a continued sensitivity to the natural environment. Working closely with West Vancouver Council and its Official Community Plan, BPP has taken a proactive role in creating an overall vision for the evolution of these new neighbourhoods and securing Council’s approval of The Rodgers Creek Area Development Plan, which when completed will represent over $1 billion in built-out value.
As a result of this high level of activity, and as part of its management succession plan, British BPP needs to hire a capable land development professional as Development Manager. Reporting to the VP Development, this individual will focus particularly on overseeing land development and construction activity on site, and will also be involved in design and approval work.
Candidates for this position should have a P.Eng. qualification, ideally in civil engineering, and about 10 years of land development experience, gained with a developer, engineering consulting firm, contractor or possibly municipality. Direct hands-on experience in managing land servicing and related construction activity is a ‘must’. A professional manner and excellent people and communication skills are also required.
This is a rare opportunity to build a career with one of Vancouver’s most established and respected development companies, and to play a key role in bringing imaginative and sustainable design principles to fruition in a unique and challenging topography.
