Assistant Property Manager - Onsite Build to Rent

- Create a standout experience for residents from enquiry to move-in and beyond.
- Build a connected community through events, engagement and great service.
- Work closely with the Property Manager
- Enjoy a varied, hands-on role where no two days look the same.

- Support the team: Contribute to a positive, collaborative on-site culture.
- Maintain compliance: Help manage WHS requirements, identify risks and support emergency procedures.
- Improve the way things work: Bring fresh ideas,



initiative and practical solutions to the table.
