Overview

Senior Design / Project Manager – Be Part of Living Gems 2.0

Over 40 years ago, Living Gems pioneered land lease communities in Australia. Backed by strong financial foundations and a proud history, we're launching the next chapter — bigger, smarter, and bolder than ever. We're starting fresh with a brand-new pipeline of resorts, and the first three sites are already underway. This is your chance to help shape Living Gems 2.0 — a business with heritage and backing, but with the energy of a startup.

We're looking for a hands-on leader who's as comfortable in the boardroom as they are resolving site queries. Someone who can guide consultants, manage design programs, and make the calls that keep projects moving. This isn't a siloed role — we're a cross-functional team, rolling up our sleeves and pitching in together to deliver something special.

What You'll Be Doing
  • Driving the design and documentation of large-scale lifestyle resorts and commercial facilities.
  • Leading consultant teams and making sure documentation is on time, coordinated, and buildable.
  • Working closely with construction teams to keep delivery efficient, compliant, and cost-conscious.
  • Playing a key role in programming, problem-solving, and making sure projects run smoothly from concept to completion.
  • Being a senior point of contact who can cut through complexity and give clear direction.
What We're Looking For
  • A proven design/project leader with commercial build experience.
  • Someone who can balance big-picture strategy with detail, deadlines, and delivery.
  • Strong communicator who can engage consultants, contractors, and site teams with confidence.
  • Commercially sharp, technically sound, and ready to get involved at every stage.
  • Collaborative mindset — willing to roll up sleeves and work side-by-side with the team.
Why Join Us?
  • Be part of the pioneers – Living Gems created Australia's first land lease communities more than 40 years ago.
  • Strong financial backing – Stability, resources, and a proven track record to deliver at scale.
  • Shape the next chapter – Join us at the launch of Living Gems 2.0, with three brand-new resorts already in motion.
  • Hands-on leadership – Work closely with consultants, contractors, and site teams — not stuck in a silo.
  • Cross-functional culture – A collaborative team where everyone rolls up their sleeves and gets it done.
  • Make an impact – Help deliver entire lifestyle resorts that people will call home for generations.
  • Career-defining role – A rare opportunity to influence and build the future of a respected brand.

This is an opportunity to be part of the next wave of a company with both pedigree and vision. If you're ready to step into a leadership role where your work makes a visible impact across multiple resorts, we'd love to talk.

If you're a hands-on leader who thrives in fast-moving, collaborative environments, we'd love to hear from you. Apply now with a resume and explaining in your cover letter why you want to be part of Living Gems 2.0 and help us deliver the next generation of lifestyle resorts.
