Overview

Client-Side Project Manager – Land Subdivision
Location: Newstead, Brisbane
Type: Full-time, Permanent
Salary: $150,000 – $165,000 + Superannuation

About the Company

Join a respected Brisbane-based property developer with a proven track record in land subdivision across SEQ. With a strong pipeline and collaborative team culture, this is a rare opportunity to gain full lifecycle exposure in a business that values initiative, ownership, and career growth.

The Opportunity

This is not your typical PM role. We/'re looking for a hands-on Client-Side Project Manager who thrives in the delivery phase of development — someone who brings sharp attention to detail, strong contract administration skills, and a proactive approach to stakeholder management.

You/'ll be involved across the full spectrum of development activities, while taking the lead in project delivery, contract administration, and project controls.

Key Responsibilities

Project Delivery & Contracts

- Administer contracts and act as Superintendent where required
- Oversee consultants and contractors to ensure timely and high-quality delivery
- Manage project programs, approvals, and compliance with HSE standards
- Identify and mitigate delivery risks

Commercial & Financial

- Manage feasibility models and project cash flows in collaboration with internal finance
- Track budget performance, report on variances, and optimise outcomes
- Monitor stock levels, sales velocity, and marketing expenditure

Stakeholder & Team Management

- Liaise with councils, consultants, and contractors to keep projects moving
- Support internal sales and marketing teams with collateral, reporting, and approvals
- Provide accurate weekly/monthly reporting to key stakeholders
- Mentor junior staff and help build internal capability

Development Activities

- Contribute to acquisitions, due diligence, and feasibility analysis
- Participate in design development and development applications
- Support branding and marketing initiatives

About You

- Proven experience as a Project Manager in land subdivision, either in development, construction, or consultancy.
- Solid understanding of contract administration, scheduling, and project delivery
- Comfortable managing multiple stakeholders across the project lifecycle
- Commercially savvy, with experience in feasibilities and financial reporting
- Motivated, detail-oriented, and capable of working autonomously
