Development manager

Perth
Gough Recruitment
Posted: 15 February
Offer description

They've been around for decades and they're still asking the same question: what makes a place feel like home?

Not the infrastructure—though they deliver that exceptionally well. Not the amenities—though theirs are consistently best-in-class. It's the feeling you get when you arrive. The sense that someone thought deeply about how you'd actually live there.

This ASX-listed residential developer has built their reputation on understanding that distinction. They're designing residential communities that people genuinely want to stay in. Long after settlement.

They're profitable, patient, and particular about who joins the team. If you're the type of Development Manager who measures success by what stands the test of time—not just what closes on budget—this conversation is worth having.

We are seeking an experienced Development Manager to take ownership of project lifecycles within their Perth portfolio. Development Managers are the driving force behind the vision—responsible for implementing project strategy, achieving commercial objectives, and ensuring the seamless delivery of high-quality residential outcomes.

This is a pivotal role for a property professional with a proven track record to join a highly successful Development Team in Perth, WA. You will manage complex projects from inception through to completion, ensuring the company's reputation for excellence is maintained at every stage.

Key Responsibilities

* Project Leadership: Lead the planning, design, and delivery of construction (civil and landscape), ensuring the timely delivery of parks, open spaces, and infrastructure.
* Financial & Commercial Management: Drive project profitability by managing complex budgets, reviewing and approving major payments, and maintaining rigorous financial oversight.
* Strategic Stakeholder Management: Act as the primary point of contact for internal and external stakeholders, including authorities and consultants, to ensure projects align with market positioning and financial parameters.
* Market Intelligence: Leverage deep industry knowledge to analyse market conditions, influence investment decisions, and mitigate project risks related to construction costs and realisations.
* Reporting & Governance: Oversee the preparation of comprehensive project reporting and documentation for executive-level review, ensuring all milestones meet ASX-listed compliance standards.

About You

To be successful in this role, you will have runs board in residential land development and thrive on accountability and collaboration.

You will possess:

* A relevant tertiary qualification in Property, Commerce, Planning, Engineering, or Project Management.
* Significant experience in a Development Management role, preferably within the residential sector.
* Strong commercial acumen with a deep understanding of project feasibilities and the Perth property market.
* Exceptional communication and negotiation skills, with the ability to lead multi-disciplinary teams and manage complex consultant groups.
* A "tenacious and creative" mindset, with a commitment to delivering sustainable, human-centered communities.

What's On Offer

This is a special place to work. You'll have the opportunity to apply your expertise to a diverse portfolio of projects, working alongside the industry's most respected talent.

Supported by inspirational leaders, you'll be empowered to drive meaningful outcomes while accessing valuable growth opportunities to further elevate your career.

Benefits include:

* Flexible working arrangements to support work-life balance.
* Competitive remuneration.
* Corporate memberships and a thriving community calendar of events.
* A collaborative, high-performance culture.
