* Coordinate claims, invoicing, progress payments and documentation
* Conduct site visits (at least twice per week) and ensure delivery remains on program
* Support the senior development lead in overseeing consultants and key stakeholders
* Involved from feasibility through to handover, with exposure to the full lifecycle
Ideal Candidate
* 5-7 years’ experience in property development or client-side project management
* Background in commercial, industrial or high-end residential projects preferred

* Direct mentorship and daily interaction with senior leadership
* Opportunity to grow into more senior roles over time
* Optional co-investment in projects (typically $100K buy-in)
* Stable, well-funded pipeline with a long-term view - no overextension
* Inner city office with secure parking and reasonable hours (9:00am-5:30pm, minimal overtime)
