  • Coordinate design reviews, approvals and stakeholder engagement.
  • Identify and manage design risks while proactively resolving project challenges.
  • Provide technical leadership and support throughout procurement and construction phases.
  • Foster strong relationships with clients, consultants, authorities and internal teams.

  • Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
  • Experience leading multidisciplinary consultant teams.
  • Sound knowledge of construction methodologies, design coordination and project delivery.
  • Strong understanding of the NCC, Australian Standards and statutory requirements.
  • Experience delivering projects with Green Star and/or NABERS accreditation requirements will be highly regarded.

Join us to experience:

  • A supportive, down-to-earth and collaborative culture.
  • Exciting and diverse community projects that make a real impact.
