Project Manager – High‑Rise | Build Your Career on the Gold Coast SIERA is a developer‑builder with big ambitions for residential high‑rise in Queensland. We're after a driven Project Manager to oversee two Gold Coast towers, leading capable site teams and strong subcontractors. Summary We hold a high bar for who joins our projects. If you're someone who wants to step into an A‑grade environment, take real ownership of programme, cost and quality, and push yourself professionally, this will suit you. We welcome interstate applicants and will support relocation for the right person. About SIERA SIERA is a Brisbane‑based developer‑builder focused on premium residential work across South‑East Queensland, with a major pipeline of high‑rise apartments on the Gold Coast. We’re vertically integrated — we design, build, sell and manage our own buildings — so the quality of our delivery matters for years after completion. Our goal is simple: become Queensland’s most respected residential high‑rise builder. To get there, we’re investing heavily in people, systems and modern methodologies. Everyone who joins us has a genuine development pathway and the backing to grow alongside the business. The Opportunity As a Project Manager with SIERA, you’ll lead two concurrent Gold Coast high‑rise projects from early design and procurement through to handover and defect closure. We’re looking for someone with old‑school work ethic and accountability, supported by modern systems, clear thinking and strong leadership. You’ll set the tone on programme, commercial discipline and quality, while lifting the team around you. You’ll work closely with the Head of Construction and Managing Director, influence procurement decisions, and participate in an active development program that includes domestic and periodic offshore site and factory visits tied to key packages. For someone who wants to stretch themselves and build a long‑term career, the upside is significant. What You’ll Be Responsible For Take full ownership from risk review to final defect close‑out across safety, programme, cost and quality. Set expectations for Site Managers, Foremen, Safety, CAs, engineers and cadets — and hold the line on standards and behaviours. Keep the pace high across both sites, ensuring strong alignment between office and field. Programme Own master and target programmes, pressure test sequencing and mitigation strategies. Ensure site‑driven 3‑week look‑aheads are aligned, realistic and delivered. Commercial Build the commercial strategy with your CA's, approve procurement and key letting decisions. Drive disciplined cost reviews, protect margin and manage variations with clarity. Design & Quality Lead the interface between consultants, design management and site. Make balanced decisions early to protect quality, risk and commercial outcomes. Treat safety and quality as non‑negotiables and step in when required. Communication & Reporting Run clear PCG reporting, internal comms and early escalation so issues are flagged before they become problems. People & Culture Build a high‑performance environment with no room for passengers. Coach emerging Site Managers, CAs and engineers through structured development and feedback. Contribute to continual improvement, including system updates and procurement learnings from local and offshore visits. Who This Will Suit Has run end‑to‑end projects and is ready to manage multiple towers. Brings a strong work ethic, competitiveness and pride in your craft. Understands high‑rise or complex build environments — residential, mixed‑use, commercial, education or health. Handles pressure well, stays composed and makes clear decisions. Sets high personal standards and cares about how a building performs long after handover. Is ambitious, hungry to grow and wants to be part of a team that pushes the standard in the industry. What You Bring Solid experience delivering complex buildings from early works to defects. Strong commercial acumen — budgets, trade letting, variations, forecasting and contract management. Well‑developed planning and programme capability on larger structures. Proven ability to lead and get the best from Site Managers, Foremen, CAs, Safety and engineers. Clear, direct communication — written and verbal — with confidence dealing with senior leadership, development, sales and purchasers.
