The Company
An international development group is establishing its presence in Western Australia, commencing with a landmark purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) project in Perth. With an initial investment of approximately $160 million and capacity for around 600 beds, this project represents the foundation of a broader development pipeline in the State.
The organisation is long-term focused, capital-backed, and committed to delivering high-quality, operationally successful assets. As the inaugural project in Western Australia, this development will set the benchmark for future projects, governance standards, and delivery frameworks.

Acting as the client’s representative, you will have full accountability across programme, cost, quality, safety and risk. Beyond delivering the project, you will play a critical role in establishing robust project governance frameworks, contractor relationships, and best-practice processes to support future developments across Western Australia.
Key responsibilities include:
- Leading the planning, execution and delivery of a $160m+ multi-storey PBSA development
- Acting as the principal client-side interface with head contractors, consultants and specialist advisors
- Establishing standardised project and contract management processes aligned to best practice

Why This Role?
This is a rare opportunity to lead a landmark development that will define a new entrant’s presence in the Western Australian market.
You will not only deliver a significant $160 million project, but also shape the governance, systems and delivery frameworks that underpin a future pipeline of developments. The role offers genuine influence, visibility with senior stakeholders, and the opportunity to build something enduring from the ground up.
For an experienced Senior Project Manager seeking both project accountability and strategic impact, this represents a career-defining opportunity in Perth’s evolving development landscape.
