Job Description

Looking to start your career in Development management? If so, read on.

/n

A $100 million+ seniors living redevelopment just got the green light. It includes the refurbishment of a 100+-bed care home.

/n

A principal contractor is about to be appointed. Construction starts this year. Someone is going to coordinate that project from here through delivery, this is your shot at being that person.

/n

You'd be joining an aged care and retirement living operator with a multi-decade footprint across the Illawarra and beyond, currently running this project alongside several large-scale homes nearby.

/n

This isn't a developer that builds and sells - they hold and operate what they deliver, which means the projects you touch are built to last, not flipped for margin.

/n

The organisation is investing in an in-house development team to manage this pipeline directly rather than outsourcing it, and that's exactly the seat you'd be stepping into.

/n

Reporting to a Development Manager, you'll coordinate projects across the full lifecycle - programs, budgets, reporting and documentation,



tender coordination and contract administration, DA and permit compliance, and stakeholder liaison with consultants, contractors and authorities.

/n

You'll sit close enough to the approvals process and the delivery team to understand how a project of this scale gets built, not just administer it from a distance.

/n

This suits someone one to three years into a property, construction or project coordination career who wants more than a repeat of what they're already doing and is motivated, switched on and ready to jumpstart your career in a very admirable property development sector.

/n

There's real admin in this role - document control, purchase orders, meeting minutes - and if that's not for you, this isn't the move. But it's the groundwork every Development Manager did first, and it's the fastest way into that seat.

/n

Hybrid working, Illawarra-based and real progression route up to development manager and beyond.
