As the project moves into key planning, design, public realm and subdivision milestones, it’s an exciting time to come on board and help bring this community to life.

• Partner closely with internal stakeholders across Development, Sales, Marketing, Finance, Project Management and Stakeholder Relations, as well as external consultants, contractors, authorities and builder partners.
• Champion design quality, customer experience and sustainability across all stages of the project.
