  • Coordinate and manage external consultants including planners, civil engineers, surveyors, legal advisors, and project managers.
  • Manage land subdivision, civil works interfaces, servicing strategies, and titling processes to achieve programme milestones.
  • Monitor project performance across programme, cost, risk, and delivery metrics.
  • Work collaboratively with internal sales and marketing teams to support product positioning, staging strategies, and release timing.
  • Contribute to new acquisition and business development opportunities as required.

About You

  • Proven experience in residential land or master-planned community development.
  • Strong understanding of planning frameworks, rezoning pathways, and subdivision delivery.
  • Demonstrated capability managing multiple projects and consultant teams simultaneously.

What’s on Offer

  • Opportunity to work on large-scale, high-quality master-planned communities.

  • Strong pipeline providing long-term career stability and growth.
  • Competitive remuneration package aligned to experience.
  • Clear progression pathways within an expanding platform.
