Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Talent Web Property Full time $80,000 - $120,000 per year

We're working exclusively with a leading property group to appoint a Project Design Manager who will play a pivotal role across the full lifecycle of residential development projects—from DA through to construction completion.

This is a client-side opportunity ideally suited to someone with a strong foundation in architecture, engineering, or construction, looking to take ownership of design outcomes across high-density residential builds. You'll be coordinating external consultants and managing documentation to drive performance around cost, time, and design quality.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Manage the design process from DA submission to construction delivery
  • Coordinate consultants across architectural, structural, civil, and services disciplines
  • Ensure all design documentation complies with building codes, planning requirements, and project briefs
  • Conduct technical reviews, manage RFIs, and coordinate shop drawing sign-off
  • Implement design programs aligned with procurement and construction schedules
  • Provide expert advice on buildability, cost risk, and construction methodologies
  • Ensure all DA/CC conditions are addressed in final design outputs
  • Collaborate with Development, Construction, and Project teams to drive innovation and consistency

What We're Looking For:

  • Tertiary qualifications in Architecture, Engineering, Construction or similar
  • 5–10 years' experience in design management, architectural delivery, or client-side project work
  • Strong knowledge of Australian building codes, standards, and design best practice
  • Ability to challenge consultants constructively and drive high-quality design outputs
  • Experience with high-density residential projects is highly regarded
  • Excellent communication skills and strong attention to detail

Why This Role:

  • Join a well-funded developer with a strong project pipeline across Sydney
  • Influence design outcomes at both the strategic and delivery levels
  • Work in a collaborative team with a forward-thinking approach to construction
  • Competitive salary and career progression opportunities
