  • Liaise with stakeholders, including internal teams (development, construction, engineering) and external consultants (architects, planners, regulatory bodies).
  • Manage project complexities, including design iterations, DA approvals, and compliance with the Design & Building Practitioners Act.
  • Ensure regulatory and compliance alignment, working with local councils and planning authorities.
  • Support project delivery, transitioning from development to execution while maintaining design integrity and efficiency.

Key Requirements

  • Extensive experience in Class 2 residential projects, ideally within high-rise, mixed-use, or BTR developments.
  • Strong leadership skills with experience mentoring and managing design teams.
  • Proven ability to navigate complex approval processes and changing project directions.
  • Experience working in developer-builder environments, balancing internal and external collaboration.
  • Ability to adapt to long-term project timelines and evolving strategic priorities.
  • Agile problem-solving skills, capable of handling regulatory and logistical challenges.

What's on Offer?

  • Work on a landmark $2 billion Sydney development with a long-term project timeline.
  • Collaborative company culture with strong internal resources and a high-caliber team.
  • Competitive salary and benefits, with potential for performance-based incentives.
  • Flexibility in working arrangements, including hybrid options.
  • Opportunities for career growth, with a strong pipeline of future projects.

This is a strategic leadership role on a high-profile Sydney development. If you have the expertise, leadership skills, and strategic mindset to take on this challenge, we'd love to hear from you.
