This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced development professional who has a proven track record delivering vertical residential projects and wants genuine ownership across the development lifecycle.

The Opportunity Reporting directly to the CEO, you will take a hands-on role in managing residential development projects from feasibility and planning through to design, construction interface and settlement.

You will be involved across the full development process, working closely with internal stakeholders, consultants, authorities, builders and project teams to ensure projects are successfully progressed and delivered.

10+ years' Australian property development experience

Proven hands-on experience delivering vertical residential / high-rise / tower projects

Strong knowledge of Queensland planning processes, including DA management and planning proposals

Strong financial and commercial acumen, including feasibility modelling, budgeting and investment cases

Experience taking projects from concept and feasibility through to delivery and settlement

Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills

A relevant tertiary qualification in Property Development, Urban Planning, Architecture, Engineering or a related discipline

A practical, delivery-focused approach with the ability to work autonomously and make decisions

Why Consider This Opportunity?

Brisbane or Gold Coast-based position

Permanent, full-time prospect

Genuine ownership of major residential development projects

Opportunity to work across the complete development lifecycle

Join an organisation with an exciting pipeline of vertical residential developments

If you're an experienced Development Manager with a strong high-rise residential background and are looking for your next Brisbane or Gold Coast opportunity, we'd like to hear from you.

Thanks for your consideration.
