We are looking for a construction qualified who also has experience putting together feasibilities and obtaining DAs. This is a 360-degree role that takes multiple smaller projects from acquisition through to completion.

In addition, there are existing commercial properties that need facilities repaired or upgraded. So when you think, “I’m an all-rounder”, this is what I’m looking for—one day you will be assessing how to get value out of a new project, and the next you will be arranging a civil contractor to put in a new footpath.

Understanding construction is key, along with being able to prepare scopes of work for contractors carrying out work onsite. The role also includes procuring trades and suppliers and managing onsite health and safety. In between live projects, you will be planning capital expenditure for existing buildings across an extensive portfolio.

Responsibilities include:
Working with consultants and councils to obtain development approvals.
Preparing scopes of work for repairs, upgrades and construction projects.




Setting budgets and timelines, and keeping projects on track.
Sourcing and appointing contractors, trades and suppliers.
Reviewing plans to make sure the work is practical, well designed and within budget.
Coordinating contractors and consultants, and checking the quality of their work.
Working with the operations team to plan improvements and capital expenditure for existing properties.
Assessing newly acquired properties and planning the work required.
Resolving issues as they arise and keeping management updated on progress and costs.
Ensuring work is carried out safely and meets approval and building requirements.

The role pays $200K + super and is based in Brisbane, with travel to sites required from time to time.
