Job description

NorthStone Talent Partners – Sydney CBD NSW

Our client is an established property developer that has launched a new business introducing an innovative prefabricated building system to the Australian market.

A second phase of residential builds is now underway, with further land secured for future projects currently moving into design.

They’re looking for a Project Manager with solid Australian residential construction experience to join at an exciting stage. The new business is still building its systems and processes, so this role goes beyond running a project site.
