Posted 7 days ago
Take full control of a new Brisbane office while shaping it with your ideas and expertise. You’ll run things your way, backed by a trusted national brand and with real long-term upside through equity options once you’re established.
This is your chance to step into a leadership position with major industrial projects already underway, and the freedom to grow your own client base across Queensland. You’ll be the face of the business locally, with direct influence over design direction, culture and how the team evolves.
And you’ll do it with hybrid flexibility, working your way around 1–2 days from home each week.
What you’ll do
You’ll lead the Brisbane office, delivering new-build industrial projects and setting the strategic direction for design, development, and delivery. With existing projects in place, you’ll manage these while also driving new business and expanding the Queensland presence.
Design-wise, you’ll lead concept development, ensuring each project hits the mark creatively and commercially. You’ll stay hands-on with Revit and other tools, while mentoring the next wave of designers and guiding your team with your expertise.
From client meetings to stakeholder engagement, you’ll be the key contact, managing relationships and ensuring satisfaction. You’ll also oversee schedules, cost estimates, and specifications to keep everything running smoothly and profitably.
What you’ll need
Extensive experience leading industrial projects in Queensland
Strong project management and team leadership skills
A track record of delivering high-quality work that keeps clients coming back
Knowledge of sustainable design principles and modern industry standards
Eligibility to work in Australia
