ABOUT THE COMPANY

This nationally respected project management consultancy is at the forefront of Australia's retirement living and aged care development landscape. With a reputation for delivering complex, large-scale accommodation projects with precision and care, the firm partners with leading providers to shape communities that support ageing with dignity and purpose. Known for its collaborative culture, strategic thinking, and commitment to excellence, the business is growing to meet increasing demand across the sector.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Project Director, you will take the lead on major aged care and retirement living developments valued up to $300 million. Your focus will be on the critical early stages of the project lifecycle—feasibility, planning, and design—ensuring a robust foundation for successful delivery. You will work closely with clients, architects, and consultants to align project objectives with regulatory, operational, and end-user needs, and bring your deep understanding of the sector to guide key project decisions before breaking ground.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Lead the front-end planning and design phases of aged care and retirement living developments
  • Manage stakeholder engagement, consultant coordination, and authority approvals (including SSDAs)
  • Provide strategic input during feasibility studies, site assessments, and masterplanning
  • Oversee the development of project briefs, design documentation, and procurement strategies
  • Management of the project delivery team and support staff (circa 6 direct reports)
  • Guide early-stage budgeting, risk identification, and program planning
  • Represent the client's interests throughout concept and design development
  • Support smooth transition from planning to construction by setting clear project direction

SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

  • 10+ years of project management experience, with a strong track record in aged care or retirement living
  • Demonstrated expertise in early-stage project delivery including design management, town planning, and authority approvals
  • Demonstrated team leadership skills including mentoring, developing and recruiting high performing staff
  • Solid understanding of operational and compliance considerations in aged care and seniors' living environments
  • Experience managing projects valued between $100m–$300m
  • Background in Architecture, Engineering, or Construction Management preferred
  • Excellent communication and client engagement skills, with the ability to lead multidisciplinary teams

CULTURE

People-first and purpose-driven, this firm understands that its projects impact lives. It fosters a culture of care, collaboration, and accountability. As the Project Director, you'll be a leader not only in project execution but also in team culture—mentoring junior staff, modelling strong client relationships, and driving a shared commitment to quality and integrity.

BENEFITS

  • Deliver meaningful projects that shape the future of aged care and retirement living in Australia
  • Work with a nationally connected, sector-specialist team
  • Enjoy a collaborative, flexible, and supportive environment
  • Play a pivotal role in high-profile projects that leave a lasting legacy
