THE BUILDER:
This well-established developer-builder has built a strong name across Melbourne for delivering quality medium-density townhouses, individual new homes, and light commercial projects. With a steady pipeline and a supportive team, they offer a professional yet down-to-earth environment where people genuinely enjoy coming to work.

THE ROLE:
This isn’t a site-based or commercial PM role – it’s a Project Manager position centred on pre-construction.

You’ll be the link between design, approvals, and delivery, making sure everything is set up for projects to run smoothly once they hit site.

This opportunity could suit:

  • A Senior Project Coordinator/Assistant PM ready to step up into full PM responsibility, OR
  • A Project Manager in a similar role looking for fresh challenges and a more engaging environment.

WHY JOIN?

  • Be involved in diverse projects – townhouses, new homes, and small commercial builds
  • Shape the front end of projects – oversee workflows, approvals, and documentation before site commencement
  • Work alongside an experienced leadership team that values collaboration and growth
  • Modern systems, structured processes, and a culture that encourages development
  • Career progression opportunities tailored to your goals
  • Attractive salary up to $140k (flexible for the right person)
  • Inner Melbourne office – well-connected to public transport, cafes, and lifestyle amenities

DAY TO DAY:

  • Coordinate pre-construction workflows, permits, approvals, and compliance
  • Oversee project documentation, contracts, specifications, and selections
  • Liaise with consultants, internal/external stakeholders and authorities to keep projects moving
  • Track budgets, timelines, and risks — ensuring everything is in place before construction
  • Support or lead contract administration processes as required

ABOUT YOU:

  • Experience as a Project Manager or ready-to-step-up Senior Project Coordinator/Assistant PM
  • Background in residential or medium-density projects for a builder/developer
  • Strong knowledge of approvals, compliance, and pre-construction workflows
  • Confident communicator who can coordinate across stakeholders, consultants, and authorities
  • Organised, proactive, and able to manage multiple projects at once
  • Must have full Australian working rights
