Property Development Team Internship – Sydney
What will you be doing in your program
Property Development candidates can apply for one of three streams of our Property Development Intern program. These three streams include Residential Development (Apartments and Masterplanned Communities), Commercial Development and Build to Rent (BTR). You will be asked to rank your preference during the application process.
Outline of Property Development Streams:
Residential Development:
As a Residential Development team intern you will be able to observe and participate in a range of Residential development projects across Sydney. This will include our projects at Coonara, Willoughby, Waterloo, SOPA, Green Square and New Business. This intern role will work closely with the project team which includes Development, Design, Construction, Sales & Marketing and Finance.
Key projects you will assist on include; JV partner/Tenant/Client Negotiation, Design Management, Project Management, Leasing, Project Feasibility, Land Acquisition and Project finalisation and customer service/settlements.
Commercial Development:
As a Commercial Development team intern you will be able to observe and participate in Commercial development projects across Sydney, particularly at our South Eveleigh (ATP) site. This intern role will work closely with the project team which includes Development, Design, Construction, Leasing & Marketing, Finance and Asset Management. You will also have exposure to the wider Mirvac Development team and Tenant teams.
Key projects you will assist on include; JV partner/Tenant/Client Negotiation, Design Management, Project Management, Leasing, Project Feasibility, Land Acquisition and Project finalisation and customer service/settlements.
Build to Rent:
Build to Rent (BTR) is a concept that offers a more secure, affordable and long-term living experience where a purpose-built property is owned by institutional investors and occupied by tenants who are offered secure fixed term leases. The BTR sector is well-established in the US, Europe and Japan and now the UK, where it has gone from a standing start a little over five years ago to number more than 140,000 dwellings in operation or due for completion. The UK market is driven by the same factors creating demand in Australia – housing affordability and demographic and lifestyle change.
Mirvac is developing purpose-built apartment buildings for rental to be held by institutional investors. By doing so Mirvac becomes Australia's first large scale institutional landlord to enter the market under the Built to Rent model.
As a Build to Rent team intern you will be able to observe and participate in a range of Mirvac's Build to Rent (BTR) development projects across Australia. This will include our BTR projects at St Peters and Queen Victoria Market. This intern role will work closely with the Build to Rent team, Multifamily delivery/acquisitions/operations teams as well as our Construction and Design teams.

Reviews
Design and tenant management into base design.
My role is in corporate, working alongside the business to support them in delivering sustainability initiatives. My role is collaborative - to provide assistance where asked, and also to implement group-wide projects. This includes volunteering, our Reconciliation Action Plan, sustainability reporting. There are other wonderful elements to my role, but these would be the key areas.
A very desk based role, with most of the time spent documenting projects. Little to no interaction with external consultants.

Pros and cons of working at Mirvac
Pros
Mirvac offers graduates the opportunity to be trained and mentored by industry leaders. This, along with gender equality amongst divisions, diversity and inclusion - is the reasons why I have been inspired to continue working in the industry I am in. are all factors that influenced my decision to grow in the development industry.
Flexibility Supportive workplace My team is experienced and are very supportive and helpful
The flexibility and work/life balance.
Flexible arrangements, everyone is very down to earth, management open to improving old processes.
I love working at Mirvac for the support I receive from all those around me - leaders and colleagues alike. I'm fortunate to have regular, constructive conversations about opportunities for learning and development. I also enjoy the opportunity to learn about all areas of the business. Though I'm in a corporate function I have regular exposure to the construction, office and industrial, retail and residential divisions. Have you seen Mirvac's sustainability strategy? It's bold, relevant and diverse. There's a lot to love. Also innovation, gender equality, its integrated building model.
Cons
The company is very large and sometimes I feel myself being left out of the loop as a young graduate.
Such a large company Wearing formal attire
Uninspiring projects.
The only concern I have about working at Mirvac is that there is no short line of vertical progression. I see lots of areas to move to horizontally, to learn and to build on my expertise, though my own team is small. There is value in this as well, so it feels strange to say it's the 'worst' thing about working here.
