Infrastructure Delivery Lead – Civil Works

Join the reinvention of a land lease pioneer – Be part of something bold

Living Gems is entering a bold new chapter.

With over 40 years as a trailblazer in the land lease resort sector, we're not just building resorts — we're reimagining the future of lifestyle living. As we launch the next generation of Living Gems resorts across Queensland, we're looking for the right kind of leader to own the civil delivery space and help bring this ambitious pipeline to life

The Opportunity: Infrastructure Delivery Lead – Civil Works

This is not a desk job.

We're seeking a veteran-level civil expert who knows how to walk a site, read between the lines, and spot better ways to build. You'll be the client-side authority overseeing the full lifecycle of civil infrastructure delivery — from early design input and contractor management to compliance, reporting, and site performance.

It's a hands-on, high-accountability role for someone who can blend deep technical know-how with leadership presence and commercial edge.

Your Role Will Include:
  • Overseeing civil contractors across multiple resort projects, ensuring scope, safety, and standards are met
  • Reviewing designs and identifying opportunities to value-manage and optimise delivery
  • Holding consultants and contractors accountable to timelines, budget, and quality
  • Ensuring civil infrastructure aligns with best practice, regulatory standards, and Living Gems' high standards
  • Working closely with internal development, construction, and leadership teams to keep projects moving
What You'll Bring:
  • Significant experience in civil construction — ideally across both contractor and client-side roles
  • Strong technical knowledge of earthworks, services, roadworks, and site infrastructure
  • A keen eye for efficiency — you know how to push back, problem solve, and propose smarter alternatives
  • The confidence to challenge ideas, lead conversations, and work collaboratively with senior stakeholders
  • A boots-on-the-ground mentality — you're not afraid to roll up your sleeves and own your site
Key Outcomes Expected:
  • Civil scopes delivered on time, on budget, and to specification
  • Improved ROI through smarter design and value engineering
  • No surprises in the ground — risks and issues identified and resolved early
  • Living Gems' reputation as a leader in quality and cost-effective delivery is upheld and enhanced
Why Join Living Gems Now?

We're on a mission to scale, evolve, and build better. As Living Gems 2.0 takes shape, you'll be joining a tight-knit leadership team with the appetite to innovate, the pipeline to grow, and the backing of 40 years of proven success.

This is a role for someone who wants to make a mark — and build resorts that residents will be proud to call home.

Apply Now – Don't Miss Out

This is your chance to be part of something bold — the rebirth of a legacy brand with a future-facing mission. We're not just hiring a title — we're looking for a person who can lead, challenge, and deliver with pride.

We want to see the full picture of you.

Please submit your CV along with a cover letter, addressed to Nicola, that tells us who you are — not just what you've done. Share your approach, your mindset, and how you've made a difference on the ground and in the boardroom. We want a 360° view of your value.
