Property Field Officer | Inner City Fringe Location UP TO $65,000 Super Fuel | Learn the ropes to manage your own Portfolio Must have at least 6 months experience and a valid Certificate of Registration There are a handful of developers in Perth whose work you recognise immediately. The architecture is considered. The locations are deliberate. The standard doesn't slip. Our client is one of them. A privately-owned boutique developer operating at the premium end of the Perth market, they have built a reputation over many years for projects that are consistently — and genuinely — exceptional. Now, as their pipeline grows, they're looking for a Senior Development Manager who is ready to step into a role with real weight, real visibility, and real influence over what gets built. This is not a role you stumble into. It's one you've been building toward. The Role As Senior Development Manager, you'll be a key driver of the business — taking ownership of complex, high-value projects from inception through to delivery, while contributing meaningfully to strategy, acquisitions, and the overall direction of the pipeline. You'll operate with a level of autonomy that reflects your seniority, while working in close proximity to the organisation's leadership — giving you exposure and influence that a larger corporate structure simply can't offer. Your responsibilities will span: Leading multiple projects simultaneously across all phases of development End-to-end feasibility, financial modelling, and investment analysis Driving planning and approvals strategies through complex regulatory environments Leading, mentoring, and managing project teams and consultant groups Contributing to land acquisition, deal assessment, and pipeline growth Acting as a trusted representative of the business with external stakeholders The Environment This organisation doesn't operate at a leisurely pace — and it won't apologise for that. The standard is high, the scrutiny is real, and the expectation is that you lead by example in everything you do. The people who thrive here understand that the reward is in the work itself: the calibre of the projects, the speed at which you grow, and the satisfaction of delivering something genuinely worth delivering. In return, you'll receive a salary that reflects your value, a portfolio that reflects the best of Perth's current development pipeline, and a genuine opportunity to shape what comes next for an organisation that is still very much on the rise. You'll Bring 8 years of property development experience with demonstrated senior project ownership A track record of delivering complex residential, mixed-use, or medium-density projects end-to-end Strong financial acumen — you can build, interrogate, and defend a feasibility with confidence Deep experience navigating Perth's planning system and regulatory frameworks The ability to lead, influence, and manage at a senior level — both internally and externally Strategic thinking balanced with a hands-on, get-it-done approach What's On Offer Salary: Genuinely generous — commensurate with your experience and the seniority of the role Projects: Premium, architecturally driven developments that sit at the top of Perth's residential market Influence: A real seat at the table in a business where your voice carries weight Profile: Association with a brand that is genuinely well-regarded in the Perth development community Growth: For the right person, a clear pathway into a leadership position as the business continues to expand If this opportunity resonates with where you are in your career — or where you want to be — I'd welcome a confidential conversation.
