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 current 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.

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
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
A secured project pipeline, from residential builds through to future commercial and government opportunities
Hands-on exposure to new building technology, expanding your expertise across both construction and manufacturing
