Brisbane QLD, Australia

Shape communities, deliver quality, and make a lasting impact with Levande.

About Us

At Levande, we believe retirement living should be vibrant, connected, and full of possibility. Our purpose is simple yet powerful: to enrich lives and communities. Every project we deliver directly enhances the lives of our residents and supports our vision of creating thriving, sustainable communities.

Primary Purpose

As a Regional Refurbishment Specialist in our National Refurbishment Division, your primary focus will be to deliver exceptional retirement living property refurbishments through the Vacate to Occupy (V2O) unit turnover process.

You will attend communities to prepare detailed scopes of work, oversee projects through to handover inspections, and ensure each refurbishment meets quality, budget, and timing expectations. Drawing on your technical expertise and estimating skills, you will review and assess contractor quotes using our internal systems, while driving improvements to the V2O process and ensuring effective management of RNRI spend and cash margins.

This 6-month max term role is based in Brisbane and may be extended depending on business needs. The position will also contribute to refurbishment capex planning and, at times, to broader development and village renewal projects. Success in the role requires strong technical knowledge combined with the ability to build relationships, influence outcomes, and collaborate effectively with a wide range of stakeholders, including residents, contractors, and internal teams.

What You’ll Do

- Lead the planning and delivery of multiple unit refurbishment projects across villages.
- Manage refurbishment budgets, reporting, and commercial outcomes in line with agreed KPIs.
- Build strong relationships with residents, contractors, consultants, approval authorities, and internal stakeholders.
- Provide scope and defect training and support to Village Managers and Sales professionals.
- Oversee contract preparation, compliance, and performance monitoring.
- Contribute to refurbishment capex planning to deliver sustainable and commercially sound outcomes.
- Support sustainability initiatives by embedding ESG and HSE principles into projects.
- Drive continuous improvement in refurbishment systems, processes, and reporting.

What You’ll Bring

- Experience in project and/or construction management, building, property, or insurance assessment.
- Proven success managing refurbishments, renovations, or new-build projects.
- Strong commercial and financial acumen with experience managing budgets.
- Excellent relationship management and influencing skills with contractors and stakeholders.
- Ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines under pressure.
- Strong organisational and administrative skills.
- Relevant tertiary qualifications in project management, property, construction, or a related field (desirable).

Why Join Levande?

- Opportunity to make a direct impact on residents and communities.
- Gain exposure to refurbishment and renewal projects at a national scale.
- Work with a supportive and collaborative team in Brisbane.
- Potential for contract extension beyond the initial 6 months
