Our client is an established property developer that has launched a new business introducing an innovative prefabricated building system to the Australian market. Backed by the developer’s experience and project pipeline, the business has already delivered a demonstration project and secured an Occupation Certificate. A second phase of residential builds is now underway, with further land secured for future projects currently moving into design.
They’re looking for a Project Manager with solid Australian residential construction experience to join at an exciting stage. The new business is still building its systems and processes, so this role goes beyond running a project site. You’ll help shape how the building system is documented, standardised and delivered as the business scales.

- Apply practical Australian house construction experience to guide sequencing, buildability and compliance with local requirements
- Provide input on how the prefabricated system performs against Australian building standards
- Develop project workflows, checklists and construction procedures
- Identify opportunities to improve project delivery and documentation as the business grows
- Work closely with the overseas design and manufacturing team, translating Australian construction practices and standards into their system development
- Support liaison with local universities and research bodies on compliance testing as the system matures
Key Requirements
- Proven experience in Australian house construction project management
- Strong project coordination skills and a solid understanding of the residential construction lifecycle
- Organised and confident with documentation, process development and workflow improvement
- Bilingual in English and Mandarin, essential given regular liaison with the overseas team
- Genuine interest in new building technology, with a willingness to learn, explore and contribute ideas
What’s on Offer
- The stability of an established property developer combined with the energy and opportunity of a new venture
