Homes NSW is a division of the Department of Communities and Justice. It brings together the housing and homelessness functions of the Department of Communities and Justice, the NSW Land and Housing Corporation, Aboriginal Housing Office and key worker housing functions from across government all under one roof. With recent additional funding and constant projects to aid and give back to the community it is an exciting and incredible time to jump onboard! 

Your role

As part of the Delivery Southern team, this role will support the delivery of a range of residential projects, from medium density to large scale urban renewal projects, including financial and economic justification, planning, procurement, development, project management and financial control of projects.

What you’ll do

You will manage a range of residential projects and build relationships with internal and private stakeholders to forge, secure and deliver social housing.  

The NSW Government will deliver a $6.6 billion investment in social housing and homelessness services and will prioritize at least half of the new homes built for victim-survivors of family and domestic violence. You will lead large scale programs while also identify and manage opportunities, risks, benefits and priorities to position Homes NSW.

What we’re looking for

• Manage a range of residential projects through the project lifecycle from inception to completion, ensuring effective planning, stakeholder management, and operative financial and risk management processes, to guide project delivery in meeting business objectives.
• Deliver project outcomes to ensure all projects are scoped, planned, costed, resourced and aligned with program objectives and client needs.
• Provide preliminary advice to the Senior Development Manager, Director Delivery Southern and the Executive Director, Portfolio Delivery on the development, implementation, management and reporting of projects.
• Manage governance arrangements to ensure cost, time and quality of planning and approvals.
• Establish and proactively manage positive working relationships with project stakeholders, including business partners, contractors, external consultants and other Government Agencies to guide contributions, manage expectations, report progress, leverage knowledge and foster long term partner relationships.
• Manage risks to projects and initiatives, and develop, communicate and implement risk mitigation plans and strategies.
• Prepare and contribute to a range of strategic and operational documentation, including briefing papers, discussion papers, reports, submissions and responses to provide and seek information to project stakeholders.
• Ensuring all projects meet milestones, achieve objectives, are managed within budget given the high volume work environment and demands resulting from tight timeframes and competing priorities; are aligned with Homes NSW’s strategic direction and linkages and dependencies with other programs, projects and initiatives are identified and addressed.
• Tertiary qualifications in construction management, property development or a relevant business discipline.
