An established modular construction and development group operating across Australia, the Pacific and Asia is building out its Australian development pipeline and seeking a senior development and acquisition professional to source opportunities nationally — across land, residential and low-to-mid-rise commercial.
The group combines an Australian development base, a long-standing record delivering in remote and challenging locations, and its own Asia-based manufacturing through directly held operations — giving it a genuine edge in delivering acquired projects. This is a senior, deal-origination role: finding the opportunities, running the numbers, and getting them under contract.
The role:
Source development opportunities nationally — land and subdivision, residential, and low-to-mid-rise commercial including apartments, hotels, mixed-use and office
Build and hold relationships with agents, developers, landowners, institutional vendors and other off-market deal sources
Run feasibility and highest-and-best-use assessments across both built-form and land opportunities
Negotiate acquisitions and shepherd opportunities from identification through to contract
Work with the development and delivery teams to target projects that suit the group's modular delivery model — by scale, repeatability and buildability
What we're after:
A senior track record sourcing and acquiring development sites in Australia — across residential and commercial built-form, not land alone
Strong commercial feasibility skills — yields, end-values, GFA and development math, with the judgement to qualify a deal fast and know what to pay
An established network across agents, developers, landowners and institutional vendors
Sound command of planning, zoning and the development approval landscape
A feel for the projects that suit modular delivery — particularly low-to-mid-rise
The seniority and judgement to qualify hard and pursue the opportunities worth winning
A property, development, construction or related qualification; willingness to travel domestically as required
Why apply:
A group with its own manufacturing capability — acquired projects have a real delivery pathway, not just a DA and a hope
A senior mandate with room to shape a national development and acquisition function from the ground up
Direct line to delivery and decision-makers — fast decisions, real ownership
Attractive base + incentive structure, commensurate with experience
