Alongside LOVESPACE, the UK's largest tech-enabled storage and collection service, Storebox helps Spectrum serve virtually every storage need, anywhere in the UK.

• Build and maintain relationships with agents, landowners, planning consultants, and local authorities

• Attend site visits, design meetings, and project review meetings

• Carry out general administrative and coordination tasks to support the wider development team

Requirements

• 1–3 years' experience in property development, real estate, planning, construction, or a related field (graduates with relevant placement/internship experience will also be considered)

• Degree in a relevant discipline such as Real Estate, Property Development, Planning, Surveying, Construction Management, or similar (or equivalent experience)

• Strong numerical and analytical skills, with confidence in financial modelling and appraisals (Excel proficiency essential)

• Good understanding of, or strong interest in, the UK planning system and development process

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills

• Highly organised, with the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities simultaneously

• A proactive, hands-on approach with a willingness to learn

• Full UK driving license, with willingness to travel to sites in the UK and Ireland using personal vehicle as required – costs will be reimbursed at 55p per mile for the first 10,000 miles and 25p thereafter

• Interest in or experience within the self-storage, logistics, or wider real estate sectors is a plus

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
