Perth, Western Australia Gough Recruitment QLD Full time $150,000 - $250,000 per year

Our Client

Our client isn't your typical developer. They're Perth's pipeline powerhouse – with a significant pipeline of projects in planning and construction. From their central location, they're reshaping Western Australia's urban landscape through medium-to-large scale residential and mixed-use developments that set new benchmarks.

The Opportunity

This is a rare chance to step into a pivotal role managing multiple major projects simultaneously across their full lifecycle. You'll own everything from site acquisition through to settlement – feasibilities, funding negotiations, authority approvals, builder procurement, sales strategy, and completion.

With their extraordinary pipeline, you'll gain more experience in 2 years than most developers see in 5. You'll work across projects in various stages – some breaking ground, others navigating planning, and new opportunities constantly emerging.

What Sets This Apart

Unmatched Project Exposure: Direct involvement in Perth's most significant developments, managing multiple $50M+ projects concurrently

Project Ownership: accountability for project feasibility, sales performance and delivery outcomes

Fast-Track Growth: Rapid skill development through high-velocity decision-making and diverse project challenges

Direct Impact: Work closely with directors and stakeholders, influencing strategic decisions that shape Perth's growth

Generous Package: competitive salary recognising the scope and complexity of this role

Lead a Talented Team:Mentor some of the best in the business in a collaborative and open door environment.

Your Profile

You're a seasoned development professional who sees pressure as fuel for performance. Your track record shows progressive responsibility across multiple large-scale projects. You understand that excellence in property development demands both strategic thinking and relentless attention to detail.

Critical attributes:

  • Proven experience leading 4+ medium-to-large built form projects through full development cycle
  • Deep relationships across Perth's development ecosystem – consultants, builders, agents, financiers
  • Financial acumen to manage complex feasibilities and funding structures
  • Natural ability to influence stakeholders from site vendors to state government
  • Resilience to navigate competing priorities and drive outcomes when others might falter

The Reality

Let's be direct – this organisation operates at an intense pace. They're building something extraordinary, and that requires extraordinary commitment. If you're seeking work-life balance or a cruisy corporate role, this isn't it.

But if you're hungry to accelerate your career, work on projects that matter, and prove yourself among Perth's development elite, we should talk.
