Have you ever wanted a career with purpose?

Every day, in every way, we bring real heart to work. It's what drives us to deliver our refreshingly different commitment to supporting the people who make a real difference in enriching the lives of our society's elderly. In New Zealand, we are making a difference through our 40 care homes and 35 retirement villages. You'll be part of an inclusive culture where you can make a difference while growing your career. It's a big call. But imagine the impact you could make.

This is an exciting newly created role of Head of Property Development based in our Newmarket office.  Reporting to the Finance Director, you will bring your energy and expertise to lead and accelerate our pipeline of aged care and retirement living environments across New Zealand.   You will be leading the planning and prioritisation of our development pipelines, managing cross-functional collaboration, and ensuring projects are executed within scope, budget, risk tolerance, and compliance requirements. You will also be working closing with third parties requiring strong stakeholder skills.

  • Manage land sourcing, due diligence, consents, contractor negotiations, project controls, and sustainability initiatives including renewable energy integration and future technology adoption.

  • Degree qualified in either civil engineering, construction management, project management or property build related, ideally with professional registration.

  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • Ability to work in a complex, matrix environment.

  • Wellbeing discounts, EAP counselling services, study support, and cultural leave.
