Pioneer a new kind of city

Thanks for your interest in joining Ebbsfleet Development Corporation. We are leading one of the most exciting and pioneering regeneration projects in recent decades – the first Garden City in 100 years on the Kent Thames riverside. As the Ebbsfleet Development Corporation reaches a critical stage in its journey, we’re now looking for an ambitious and forward-thinking Head of Development - Ebbsfleet Central to help us deliver our vision of a 21st-century Garden City that works for people and the planet.

To find out more about this unique opportunity, read the letter from our Chief Executive and take a look through the site for more information on Ebbsfleet Development Corporation, the role and how to apply.

Welcome from Ian Piper, Chief Executive

Welcome to Ebbsfleet Development Corporation, and thank you for taking an interest in this exciting opportunity.

Set up by the Government in 2015, our role is to drive forward development and add ambition, quality and pace to planned development on brownfield land between Dartford and Gravesend.  Recognised as a place to do business, build a family and socialise, Ebbsfleet exploits its city-meets-country location by combining the best of urban and rural living.  With the Development Corporation’s leadership, Ebbsfleet is establishing itself as one of the UK’s leading places to live and work, a magnet for economic growth and destination of choice for wellbeing, investment and innovation.

You will be joining us at a crucial point in the delivery of this overarching vision. In 2019, the Corporation acquired significant landholdings around Ebbsfleet International station and we are now gearing up to act as the master developer and facilitator of a major new mixed use development scheme which recently received Outline Planning approval.  As Head of Development you will lead on all aspects of the delivery of the Ebbsfleet Central Development Programme for the Corporation to ensure its timely delivery.  These projects will create the conditions for private sector investment and thus be vital to the achievement of our vision for Ebbsfleet. 

Over 4,500 homes have already been built and occupied, so the new Ebbsfleet is really taking shape. Whilst we’re enormously proud of our achievements to date, we still have much to accomplish and you will join a team of colleagues committed to delivering the vision for Ebbsfleet.  Supported by Government and with a non-executive board of industry and sector experts, all is in place for success.

This role is a once in a lifetime opportunity to join the team creating a great new place, designed with inclusion, innovation, community and sustainability at its core. We look forward to receiving your application!
