Northport is strengthening its Property, Land & Lease Management capability to support long-term port expansion, industrial development and strategic asset growth.
We are looking for a motivated Executive who understands that port and industrial property management is not glamorous — but highly strategic. This role sits at the intersection of commercial intent, land governance, lease structuring and regulatory compliance.
- This is not a facilities management role. You will not be managing repairs, maintenance teams or day-to-day building operations.
- This is a management-level role focused on land administration, lease contracts, compliance and multi-stakeholder coordination within a port environment.
Responsibilities
Land & Lease Administration
- Prepare, manage and track LOA, Lease Agreements, Sub-Lease Agreements, extensions, variations and related documentation.
- Translate commercial approvals and management decisions accurately into contractual terms.
- Monitor lease tenure, escalation clauses, expiry timelines and compliance obligations.
- Manage reinstatement and “make-good” requirements upon expiry or termination.
Contract & Governance Management
- Coordinate closely with Legal to ensure lease terms reflect commercial intent and risk allocation.
- Support IPC / Management / governance submissions related to land matters.
- Ensure documentation accuracy, audit readiness and structured filing systems.
- Reduce rework, errors and turnaround time in property documentation processes.
Technical & Regulatory Coordination
- Review tenant layout plans, technical submissions and land use compliance.
- Coordinate with Engineering, Operations and tenants on land use requirements.
- Conduct site inspections from a compliance perspective (not FM maintenance).
- Liaise with Government Agencies and Authorities on land applications and regulatory matters.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s Degree in Real Estate, Land Management, Property Management, Law, Engineering, Business or related field.
- 2–5 years’ experience in:
- Land administration
- Lease / sub-lease management
- Contract documentation
- Estate or industrial property coordination
- Strong exposure to lease structuring and contract management is essential.
- Comfortable working with contracts, technical drawings, plans and regulatory submissions.
- Highly organised, detail-oriented and able to manage multiple stakeholders.
- Experience in industrial, logistics, infrastructure or port environments is an advantage.
Who this Role Suits
- Someone who prefers structured governance work over facilities maintenance.
- Someone interested in long-term land strategy, not short-term building operations.
- Someone who understands that working in a port environment is operationally complex — and embraces it.

This role offers direct exposure to:
- Large-scale port expansion planning
- Industrial land optimisation
- Strategic asset monetisation
- Government-linked land governance processes
