    • Requests for Information (RFIs)
    • Variations and associated documentation
  • Drive project budgets, cash flows, and reporting with minimal supervision.
  • Anticipate and resolve legal, contractual, and delivery issues.
  • Lead project decision-making and liaise directly with senior stakeholders, financiers, and JV partners.
  • Contribute to a collaborative team culture and high-performance environment.

About You

  • Development Manager: Minimum 3 years' experience in a DM role with proven capability in built-form/apartment projects.
  • Senior Development Manager: 6–10+ years' experience managing large-scale apartment or mixed-use projects, with a strong track record of running multiple developments concurrently.
  • Solid knowledge of planning frameworks, construction contracts, and delivery processes.
  • Strong commercial acumen with the ability to balance design, finance, sales, and delivery.
  • Excellent communication, stakeholder engagement, and consultant management skills.
  • Proactive, confident, and able to operate independently within a lean, high-performing team.

Your Benefits

  • Opportunity to deliver landmark Gold Coast projects with long-term pipeline security.
  • Autonomy and responsibility within a high-trust, delivery-focused environment.
  • Exposure to major joint ventures, financiers, and capital structuring.
  • Hybrid flexibility and supportive team culture.
