Development Assistant (Bilingual — Cantonese/English; Mandarin preferred)

Company: Gold Partners Pty Ltd
• Location: Sydney-based (frequent same-day travel to the Gold Coast)

Why this is a great opportunity

Step into an apprenticeship-style role where you'll shadow and support a senior property developer across an entire project lifecycle. From early design and approvals to pre-sales, marketing, construction, and final sell-out, you'll see how real decisions get made—and you'll help make them happen.

About the project

Gold Partners Pty Ltd is launching a 32-storey, 101-unit residential development on the Gold Coast. Pre-sales start December 2025, with construction commencing in 2026.

What you'll learn & do
  • End-to-end exposure: Sit in on key meetings, site walks and strategy sessions—learn how a project moves from concept to settlement.
  • Bilingual impact (core): Provide real-time interpretation (CantoneseEnglish; Mandarin a plus) with clients, sales agents, lenders, councils, architects, engineers, QS and subcontractors (subcon); translate emails, minutes, specs and contracts.
  • Sales & marketing through sell-out: Support email, website, WeChat, brochures and signage; coordinate display-suite operations and weekend rosters; help with pricing/releases, stock rotation and buyer journeys from exchange to settlement (valuations, solicitors, banks, PCI/defects).
  • Project backbone: Track design deliverables and approvals; keep milestones and action items tidy; assist tenders/contracts; organise travel and site visits; maintain clean documentation.
Who you are
  • Language: Cantonese (essential); strong English writing/speaking; Mandarin preferred.
  • Mindset: High EQ, patient, calm under pressure—comfortable supporting a Cantonese-speaking senior leader with a direct communication style; discreet and professional.
  • Flexibility: Occasional after-hours contact for urgent matters; frequent Sydney Gold Coast trips (often same-day).
  • Background: Bachelor's or higher in Architecture, Civil/Structural Engineering, Construction/Project Management, or Property/Real Estate Development (recent graduates welcome).
  • Experience: Previous experience in property development, construction projects, or real estate transactions preferred but not essential for graduates.
  • Bonus: Solid organisation, note-taking, and follow-through.
  • Software skills: Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint); experience with project management software (e.g., MS Project, Asana) advantageous.
Location & eligibility
  • Base: Sydney (with regular same-day travel to the Gold Coast).
  • Eligibility: Current Australian work rights required (citizen/PR or unrestricted work visa such as Graduate, Skilled Independent, or Partner visa). No overseas applications at this time (no visa sponsorship available).
