We are seeking a highly skilled and commercially astute Head of Construction to take ownership of the end-to-end project delivery for developments.

  • Drive program, budget, and quality control to meet the company’s high standards.
  • Establish and implement best-in-class delivery systems and processes.
  • Build strong industry relationships with builders, consultants, and key stakeholders.
  • Mentor and develop an internal construction team as the business scales.

About You

  • 10+ years of experience in high-end residential or boutique mixed-use development.
  • Proven expertise in builder procurement, contract negotiation, and delivery leadership.
  • Experience from a client-side project management consultancy is highly regarded.
  • Strong commercial acumen, with a solid understanding of construction law and contract administration.
  • Well-connected within the Melbourne construction and development industry.
  • A passion for design excellence and delivering projects of the highest standard.

Why Join?

  • Shape the future of high-end residential development with a cutting-edge property developer.
  • Lead prestigious projects that redefine Melbourne’s architectural landscape.
  • Work alongside industry-leading professionals in a collaborative and innovative environment.
  • Attractive remuneration package and many more benefits.
