Shape the capital strategy behind the next stage of Gablok Australia.
Gablok Australia is entering a significant phase of growth across construction, housing, manufacturing, property development and strategic investment.
We are seeking an experienced Head of Investments to lead our investment strategy, build relationships with institutional and private capital, evaluate growth opportunities and help structure the capital required to support our long-term expansion.
This is not a traditional portfolio-management role.
We are looking for an executive who understands how to connect:
Capital. Property. Manufacturing. Housing. Development. Strategy. Enterprise Value.

We are building an integrated platform across:
- Residential construction
- Property development
- Offsite manufacturing
- Housing delivery
- Strategic partnerships
- Technology
- Investment

The next stage of Gablok Australia requires leadership capable of building the financial and investment architecture necessary to support scale.

- First 100-day priorities
- Capital strategy
- KPIs
- Investment priorities
- Key risks
- Required resources
- Expected ROI
- Contribution to enterprise value
Join Gablok Australia
We believe sustainable growth is only possible with an exceptional team.
Our ambition is to build a business that attracts, develops and retains highly qualified people who want to create long-term value — not simply occupy a senior position.
For this reason, we are committed to giving senior leaders:
- Meaningful ownership over their function
- Clear accountability and decision-making authority
- Direct access to executive leadership
- The opportunity to shape strategy, systems and future capability
- A defined pathway for professional and leadership growth
- Performance recognition linked to measurable contribution
- Potential participation in long-term value creation, subject to role and structure
- The opportunity to build and develop high-performing teams beneath them
We want executives who can see a future with Gablok Australia and who are motivated to grow with the business as its scale, responsibilities and market presence expand.
Our objective is not only to recruit exceptional people.
It is to retain them, develop them, give them room to lead, and create an environment where their contribution can materially influence the future of the company.
We are building a nationally scalable construction, manufacturing and housing platform, and we know that achieving that vision requires a highly capable leadership team with the opportunity to grow alongside it.
Build the strategy.
Build the capability.
Build the team.
Build long-term value — together.
