  • Prepare proposals / fees and support practice growth through quality service, follow-up and client care.
  • Represent Philip Chun in meetings and workshops with project teams and stakeholders.
  • Support a positive team culture—train, mentor and guide junior staff.

  • QBCC Building Certifier Level 1 registration or accreditation.
  • 3+ years’ experience delivering Class 2–9 projects.
  • Tertiary qualifications in Building Surveying.
  • Strong working knowledge of the Building Act 1975 (Qld), Building Regulation 2021 (Qld), Planning Act 2016 (Qld), the NCC (Vol 1 & 2), referenced Australian Standards and relevant QDC parts.
  • Previous experience with other building legislation / policies is also desirable, such as Department of Defence’s Building Works Manual and Manual of Fire Protection Engineering
  • Excellent organisation, time management, communication and stakeholder skills, with a practical, best-for-project approach.
  • A collaborative mindset and commitment to professional standards and client outcomes.
  • Must be an Australian Citizen (ability to achieve federal security clearance is essential for this role).
  • Why Philip Chun

  • Attractive salary package aligned to experience / accreditation.
  • Paid CPD & annual accreditation renewals + relevant industry memberships.
  • Additional 3 days’ paid leave between Christmas and New Year.
