About the Prospect

Reporting to the Managing Director, you consolidate, verify and report on progress across the group's residential development and construction portfolio. This is a portfolio level role rather than a single project role, and it depends on genuine construction and development knowledge, not just administration.

You need to understand what's actually happening on site so you can pick up gaps, delays and risks before they surface in the numbers.

- Support progress claims, variations and extension of time assessments
- Track development approval and construction certificate conditions and milestones
- Coordinate meeting schedules, prepare agendas and minutes, and track action items to completion
- Liaise with internal project and site teams, consultants,



authorities and external contractors to keep reporting current and grounded in what's actually happening on site

What You'll Bring

- 3+ years' experience in property development, construction or client side project management
- Hands on experience with Class 2 residential or mixed use developments
- Comfortable questioning progress updates and identifying inconsistencies between reported status and actual site conditions
- Working knowledge of project scheduling tools, including Gantt charts and S-curve analysis
- Advanced Excel skills, including building and maintaining dashboards and status reports

Language Skills:

- Professional English is mandatory
- Chinese skills are beneficial

What's on Offer

- Direct exposure to senior leadership and the information that shapes portfolio decisions

- Exposure to a diverse pipeline of residential and mixed use projects
