• Assist in feasibility analysis and financial modelling to evaluate project viability.
• Coordinate with internal teams, external consultants, authorities, and retail tenants throughout the development lifecycle.
• Prepare reports, presentations, and project schedules for internal and external stakeholders.
• Contribute to site inspections and ensure milestones are tracked against quality, cost, and program.
• Maintain compliance with all relevant building codes, planning controls, and design standards.
• Assist in design coordination with a focus on retail layouts, access, services, and functionality.
• Bring fresh ideas to improve design outcomes, project efficiencies, and customer experience.

Skills & Qualifications:

• A degree in Property, Construction, Architecture, Planning, Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Ideally, some exposure to delivery in retail or mixed-use development.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with an ability to manage a wide range of stakeholders.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel and PowerPoint; exposure to software like Estate Master or CAD is a plus.
• Detail-oriented, proactive, and passionate about development.

This is an excellent opportunity to work with a development team that values mentoring, collaboration, and long-term growth.
