Coordinate boutique apartment and commercial developments across Adelaide

Work directly with the Director of a long-established property group

Shape purpose-driven projects that balance commercial return with social impact

The Opportunity

If you’re someone who thrives at the intersection of structure and creativity — where plans turn into buildings and details matter — this is your chance to help shape the future of Adelaide’s urban landscape.

We’re working with a respected, long-standing property developer now entering a major new phase of growth. With over 200 new apartments and multiple commercial projects on the go, they’ve created a new role for a Development & Projects Coordinator to work alongside the Director and help drive projects from concept through to completion.

This is a varied, hands-on role where no two days will be the same. You’ll be just as comfortable attending a site inspection as you are coordinating consultants, tracking deliverables, or supporting a marketing campaign. For the right person, this is a rare opportunity to work across every aspect of the development lifecycle — and contribute to projects that genuinely aim to do things differently.

Your support will be key to helping apartments sell and settle smoothly — from coordinating with agents to contributing to a great customer handover experience. The student accommodation business sits within the same group — under one Director — so your support across both arms of the organisation is essential and valued.

Key Outcomes of the Role

Coordinate project consultants — including architects, engineers, planners and builders

Track development timelines, approval pathways and deliverables

Attend and document site meetings and inspections, and follow up actions

Assist with builder liaison and defect rectification processes

Manage calendars, coordinate meetings, and support with project administration

Provide support to marketing and sales efforts (e.g. scheduling inspections, client updates)

Assist with student accommodation turnover or leasing peaks as needed

Support the apartment sales journey by liaising with sales agents, coordinating settlements, and ensuring a seamless experience for buyers and stakeholders

Step in to support our student accommodation business as needed, particularly during high-volume leasing or turnover periods

About You

To excel in this role, you will bring:

Previous experience in property, construction, or project coordination

Excellent organisational skills with a keen eye for detail

The ability to manage competing tasks and communicate effectively

A proactive mindset — you’re solutions-focused and quick to adapt

A commercial understanding — you’re not in sales, but you get why selling matters

Willingness to pitch in across admin, site-based tasks, and client-facing activities

A valid driver’s licence (preferred)

About Our Client

Barrio Developments is not your average developer. With 17+ years of experience delivering residential and commercial projects, our client is known for their thoughtful, future-minded approach to development — combining functionality, aesthetic design, and a strong social conscience.

Their projects include high-end apartments, student accommodation and community-focused commercial sites. They believe in sustainability, car-free living, and embedding purpose into everything they do — from design through to delivery.

While this is not a sales role, it’s essential that the developments succeed commercially. That’s why they’re looking for someone who understands how each part of the process connects — and can support both the delivery and the outcome.
