About Spiire
At Spiire, our purpose is simple: to better the communities we live and work within, create opportunities for our staff and clients, and deliver value to all stakeholders.
We are an integrated team of civil engineers, landscape architects, construction consultants, surveyors, town planners, urban designers and water engineers. Together, we provide specialist services to Australia’s property and infrastructure sectors.
With more than 400 employees across our offices in Canberra, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, Shepparton, Townsville, Gippsland, Albury and Wodonga, Spiire is one of Australia’s largest employee-owned property and infrastructure consultancies. For more than 40 years, we have supported local development projects through local expertise and trusted industry partnerships.
The Opportunity
Our Brisbane Planning team is looking for a motivated planning student to join us on a casual basis, working up to three days per week. While we are ideally seeking a third- or fourth-year student, we welcome applications from candidates at other stages of their studies who are keen to gain practical industry experience.
This is an excellent opportunity to gain practical industry experience while completing your degree. Working alongside experienced planning professionals, you will contribute to a range of land development, urban planning and statutory planning projects while building your technical knowledge and professional capability.
You will be supported by a collaborative team and given meaningful opportunities to learn, contribute and gain insight into a future career in planning.
Key Responsibilities
· Assist with preparing planning reports, submissions and development applications.
· Undertake planning research, policy reviews and background investigations.
· Support project teams with data collection, analysis and project administration.
· Assist with client and stakeholder correspondence.
· Contribute to project deliverables under the guidance of experienced planners.
· Participate in team meetings, project discussions and learning opportunities.
· Provide general support to the Brisbane Planning team across a variety of projects.
Skills & Experience
· Currently studying a bachelor’s degree in Town Planning, Urban and Regional Planning, or a related discipline. Preference will be given to third- and fourth-year students, however, applications from all year levels will be considered.
· Strong written and verbal communication skills.
· Sound organisational and time-management abilities.
· The ability to manage competing priorities and meet deadlines.
· Initiative and a genuine willingness to learn.
· Strong attention to detail.
· The ability to work both independently and as part of a collaborative team.
· Proficiency in Microsoft Office; experience with planning or GIS software will be viewed favourably.
What We’re Looking For
You are curious, proactive and eager to develop your planning career. You enjoy working with others, ask thoughtful questions and actively seek feedback. Most importantly, you are keen to apply what you are learning at university while contributing to meaningful, real-world projects.
Why Join Spiire?
· Gain practical industry experience while completing your studies.
· Work alongside experienced planners and multidisciplinary professionals.
· Contribute to a diverse range of projects for a variety of clients.
· Enjoy a flexible casual arrangement designed to support your study commitments.
· Develop your skills within a collaborative and supportive team culture.
· Build valuable professional connections and establish a strong foundation for your planning career.
If you are ready to put your studies into practice and begin building your career in planning, we would love to hear from you.
