Ready to play a central role in shaping Queensland’s newest communities? This is your chance to join a growing consultancy with a strong national presence and a solid pipeline of residential, commercial, and mixed-use land development projects across SEQ.

As the Civil Project Manager, you’ll lead the end-to-end delivery of complex master planned community projects—guiding clients through every stage from early due diligence and approvals, through to detailed design, construction, and handover.

This is a newly created role driven by significant growth, backed by a strong national team of engineers, planners, and delivery specialists. Option to be based in Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, or Gold Coast offices is available with regular client interface and a clear mandate to run the show.


What You’ll Be Doing

  • Drive the delivery of subdivision and land development projects across SEQ, from feasibility to completion
  • Manage development approvals, engineering designs, and construction contract administration
  • Be the go-to contact for clients, authorities, consultants, and contractors to keep projects on track
  • Identify project risks, troubleshoot issues, and make sound commercial decisions
  • Build and maintain strong client relationships—existing and new
  • Mentor and manage junior staff, helping build out a high-performing team
  • Oversee project budgets, timelines, and profitability with accountability to leadership

What You’ll Bring

  • Proven experience delivering residential or mixed-use subdivision projects in QLD
  • Deep knowledge of local council and state authority processes and stakeholder negotiations
  • A background in civil engineering, project management, or related discipline
  • Strong commercial acumen with experience managing project budgets and financial performance
  • Natural leadership skills with a passion for mentoring junior staff and creating a supportive team culture
  • A proactive, problem-solving mindset and a drive to deliver quality outcomes for clients

Why You’ll Want In

✅ Strong pipeline of long-term master planned communities
✅ No-nonsense leadership, national capability, and a local team that gets things done
✅ Career progression in a high-growth consultancy where you’re not just a number
✅ Brisbane-based role with flexible work options and real autonomy
