Strategic Permit Manager, Land Development
We are seeking an experienced Strategic Permit Manager, Land Development, to lead the planning, coordination and delivery of complex permitting activities across major land development projects. This role will be responsible for developing and implementing permitting strategies that support project objectives, manage regulatory risk and maintain progress through all stages of development. You will work closely with internal project teams, consultants, landowners, government agencies and other stakeholders to secure timely approvals and resolve issues that may affect delivery.
Key responsibilities include preparing permitting plans, schedules and approval pathways; coordinating applications, technical studies and supporting documentation; monitoring regulatory requirements and changes in planning, environmental and development legislation; and maintaining accurate records, reporting and risk registers. You will manage relationships with relevant authorities, facilitate meetings and negotiations, respond to requests for further information, and provide clear advice on approval conditions, compliance obligations and potential project impacts. The role will also involve reviewing consultant outputs, tracking commitments, identifying opportunities to streamline approval processes and escalating critical risks or delays to project leadership.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in land development, planning, permitting, approvals or a related regulatory discipline, ideally gained on large-scale infrastructure, property, resources or complex development projects. A relevant degree or professional qualification is desirable, together with strong knowledge of statutory approvals and stakeholder engagement practices. You will be highly organised, commercially aware and confident managing multiple priorities in a changing environment. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential, as is the ability to interpret technical information, influence stakeholders and build productive relationships with regulatory bodies. Experience using project management, document control or permitting systems will be advantageous.
