Job description

ROUSSOS Recruitment is pleased to be partnering with a highly respected national property development and project management consultancy. With over 50 years of success interstate and a strong national reputation, the organisation has been actively expanding its South Australian presence over the past year.

About the Opportunity
  
As State Manager, South Australia, you will lead the continued expansion of the Adelaide business. You will leverage existing relationships and early project wins while driving business development, overseeing project delivery, and building a high-performing local team.

The capability and drive to grow the revenue pipeline and expand the business
  
A successful track record leading teams and delivering complex, high-value projects
  
Strong understanding of the South Australian market and its key players

Why Join This National Consultancy?
  
You will step into a role with real influence and visibility—supported by a national team yet empowered to drive results locally. The organisation is values-led, high performing, and committed to long-term investment in South Australia.
