Australia’s housing market is shifting, and precision-built modular homes are leading the change. This high-growth, award-winning builder is transforming how homes are delivered, combining cutting-edge design, factory precision, and on-site efficiency to outpace traditional construction. Backed by major financiers and trusted on residential and government projects, they’re setting new standards in quality, speed, and innovation across the industry.

This role drives the front end of every build, owning the pre-construction process from first client handover to signed contract. You’ll lead communication between clients, designers, estimators, and production, cutting through roadblocks, coordinating every moving part, and ensuring each custom modular home is fully scoped, costed, and ready to build with speed and accuracy.

  • Pooled vehicles and reimbursed travel for site visits when needed
  • Hands-on, approachable leaders who are involved in the day-to-day and support their team
  • Clear direction and fast decision-making with transparent expectations
  • Strong backing from the GM Commercial and founder with open communication
  • Leadership that values problem-solvers who take initiative and own outcomes
  • Opportunity to lead a team of 5–6 designers and grow your leadership skills
  • Real career progression as the business scales toward 200 staff in coming years
  • Award-winning modular projects that challenge traditional building methods
  • Structured systems with clear KPIs and full project visibility through Zoho CRM
  • Growing company aiming for $100M turnover with a solid pipeline of projects
  • High-impact role where you guide clients and help deliver life-changing homes
  • Be part of a team transforming construction with smarter, faster modular builds
  • Reputable, innovative business that’s shaping the future of residential building
  • Salary up to $130,000 + Super + Annual Bonuses, depending on experience.

What You Will Do

  • Be the dedicated client contact through pre-construction
  • Coordinate and lead a small team of designers, managing multiple projects at once
  • Oversee reports, drawings, and approvals to ensure accuracy and timeliness
  • Liaise with estimators, engineers, and consultants to resolve issues fast
  • Track progress in Zoho CRM, flagging delays and keeping all stakeholders informed
  • Ensure every design is practical, compliant, and budget-aligned before signing

Who You Are

  • A confident communicator who builds trust quickly with everyday clients
  • Organised and proactive, keeping multiple projects and people on track
  • Technically aware, able to guide designers and keep deliverables moving
  • Hungry to succeed and excited to be part of a high-growth, evolving business
  • Adaptable and resilient, thriving where systems are still developing and change is constant
  • A natural problem solver who takes initiative rather than waiting for instructions
  • Professional, polished, and proud to represent a growing industry lead

Skills Required

  • Relevant tertiary qualification in Architecture, Construction Management, or Engineering.
  • 5+ years’ experience in design management, pre-construction, or ECI roles.
  • Comfortable managing design workflow and leading client-facing processes
