Hays Recruitment is partnered with the LDA and assists them with hiring for key positions.

The Land Development Agency (LDA) is a key Government Commercial Semi-State Body that delivers social and affordable housing on State and other lands. It is overseen by an independent board of directors and is funded with €5 billion of equity capital committed by the Government. It is also permitted to borrow up to €1.25bn.

The LDA has commenced construction on various state sourced lands and has a direct delivery pipeline in excess of 19,000 homes. It is also delivering affordable housing by working with the private sector on an initiative called ‘Project Tosaigh’, which will yield a further 5,000 homes on land provided by housebuilders.

Additionally, the LDA is working on large-scale longer-term strategic areas by master-planning and bringing forward planning applications in locations such as Limerick Colbert Quarter, the Digital Hub in Dublin and Sandy Road in Galway.

The LDA is underpinned by a positive, collegiate, ‘can do’ culture based on our core values of Integrity, Results, Collaboration, Sustainability and Innovation. Our team is around 160 people and growing rapidly.

This is a newly created role within an expanding team, offering a unique opportunity to influence how sustainability is embedded across the Asset Management function, with a particular focus on residential operations. The role will ensure that sustainability and social impact principles are integrated throughout Asset Management activities, with a strong focus on tenant well-being, positive community outcomes, and the long-term sustainable management of assets.

Reporting to the Strategic Projects and Sustainability Lead, the successful candidate will also have responsibility for Asset Management’s sustainability and ESG reporting, including social impact measurement. This will involve establishing robust processes for the collection, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of data and metrics to support the LDA’s wider reporting requirements and inform strategic decision-making.

The ideal candidate will be passionate about sustainability and social impact and motivated by the opportunity to contribute to the long-term delivery of high-quality, sustainable housing. They will have an understanding of sustainability principles, particularly as they relate to asset management, housing, or the built environment, and will be comfortable working with data to demonstrate impact and performance. They will also be able to demonstrate an ability to link principles to operational outcomes and deliver appropriate solutions which support Asset Management objectives.
