About the Business
Under the Pallas Group umbrella, we have two purpose-driven, ambitious brands inspired by a passion for excellence within the funds management and property industries.
Pallas Capital is a debt and equity fund manager specialising in the financing of Australian and New Zealand Commercial Real Estate. The business was established in direct response to the growing lack of credit in Australia's mid-range property market; a situation exacerbated by the shortage of reputable, risk-adverse, non-bank lenders.
Fortis our property development management business, has a portfolio of more than $750 million in successfully completed residential and commercial projects, with a further $560 million to be completed by the end of the year.
Due to continued growth in Fortis, there is an opportunity for a Project Manager to join the team in our Melbourne office. This role will play a key part in delivering high‑quality projects, providing expert project management across all stages while safeguarding Fortis' commercial and contractual interests. It's an exciting opportunity to contribute to landmark developments within a collaborative, high‑performing team.
