Job description

Peet is Hiring: Secure your Future with a Massive Pipeline & ASX-listed Stability

The Opportunity

In the WA property market, few names carry the weight, history and pipeline security of Peet Limited. This is a rare opportunity to join one of Australia’s leading ASX-listed developers. While other firms fluctuate with market cycles, Peet offers the stability of a 125-year legacy and a massive national footprint.

We are looking for a Development Manager who isn’t satisfied with ‘business as usual’. You want to work on complex, legacy-leaving master planned communities that shape the future of Perth.

The Role

Reporting to a highly regarded Project Director and State Manager, you will take ownership of a flagship greenfield portfolio. This is a true ‘cradle to grave’ development role where your commercial acumen will be just as valued as your delivery skills.

You will drive:

• End-to-End Delivery: Full lifecycle management of large-scale residential subdivisions.
• Strategy & Feasibility: Managing project cash flows, feasibilities, and budget forecasting.
• Authority Management: Navigating complex planning approvals and building strong relationships with LGAs and statutory bodies.
• Civil Works: Overseeing the superintendent and civil contractors to ensure delivery on time and on budget.
• Team Collaboration: Working closely with internal sales, marketing, and community development teams to bring the project vision to life.

About You:

We are looking for capability and drive not just a specific job title.

• The Ste-Up: You are a high-performing DM hitting a ceiling in your current company. You have run your own projects (end-to-end) and are ready to manage larger, more complex estates with higher autonomy.
• The Senior Expert: You are an established senior professional in the development industry seeking a refresh. You want a better pipeline, a more collaborative culture, and the backing of a balance sheet that allows you to move quickly.

Ideally, You will have substantial local experience in WA Land Development (Greenfield/Subdivision) along with relevant tertiary education.

Why Join Peet?

Why leave your current role?

• The Pipeline: With a significant land bank across WA, you aren’t working yourself out of a job. You are a building a decade long career.
• The Culture: Peet balances corporate professionalism with a flat, collaborative structure. You are a name, not a number, and you have direct access to decision makers.
• The Stability: In a volatile construction market, the security of an ASX-listed giant provides peace of mind and genuine resources to get the job done.
• The remuneration: Peet is seeking a standout Development Manager, and offers a competitive salary package to reflect the quality and level of experience required.
