Job Description
Development Project Manager | Apartments | Move to client-side
A Brisbane developer wants a Development Project Manager who actually owns the commercial on the job - claims, variations, trade packages - rather than a sliver of a giant project.
You'll sit with a Brisbane commercial builder doing retail and apartment work, with a push into Industrial.
This is an prospect for someone to move client-side from working at a head contractor.
Day to day that looks like:
Feasibility and Acquisition
Build and manage project feasibilities, testing and stress-testing the numbers as projects evolve.
Support site identification, due diligence and acquisition assessment.
Planning, Design and Approvals
Manage the design process and consultant team, including architects, engineers, planners and other specialists.
Drive development applications and approvals through to outcome, managing council, community and authority relationships.
Construction and Delivery
Work hand-in-glove with the Construction Contractor to deliver projects on programme, on budget and to 's quality standard.
This suits:




Proven experience as a Development Manager orDevelopment/ProjectManager taking residential projects from concept right through to completion.
Ideally from one of two backgrounds: a genuine construction background, or solid apartment / multi-residential development experience.
Strength in either will get our attention, and both is a real plus.
If construction is your background, that might be coming up through trade, site or project management before moving into development, or holding direct responsibility for the build within a development role.
Formal training or qualifications in construction, engineering, or a related discipline.
Comfortable in a small-business environment.
You own the detail and get involved across every part of a project rather than relying on a layer of direct reports.
Motivated by building something and growing alongside the business, with the patience and loyalty that a long-term role with an owner-led developer rewards.
