You want progression, but there's nowhere left to go.
You want equity, but it's always "maybe next year."
You're running your own show, but insurance, compliance and overheads are chewing into your margin.
Director - Commercial Valuations in Melbourne is a genuine seat-at-the-table opportunity within a nationally recognised Valuation and Property Advisory firm.

This is structured progression into equity, profit share separate to fee write, and real influence over local and national strategy.
You step into an established Commercial division with strong banking panels, developers, funds and trust relationships already in place.
You're not building from zero - you're accelerating something that already has momentum.
The Role

Work alongside respected industry leaders across Commercial Office, Residential & Mixed-Use Development, Industrial,



Retail and specialised going concern assets
Operate within a structure that includes dedicated Compliance and QA protecting valuers and maintaining standards

Senior valuers with *****+ years in market.
People who know the banks, know the developers, and know how to win and retain work.
Nationally, you're backed by a collegiate east coast network of valuation professionals.
