Job description

Same estate, same task, month after month?

Its easy to end up there. You're good at what you do, but you're stuck on one layer of one type of job, and you dont get to see much else.

This one gives you range, two ways.

First, you'd work on the whole subdivision. Roads, stormwater, water and sewer, services, DA and OPW. Not one piece of it.

Second, you'd work across every size of job. Tight, fiddly one-into-two lots and small townhouse sites, right up to 1,000+ lot developments the size of a whole suburb.

The small sites sharpen your detail. The big ones show you how a whole community gets built. You get both.

Traffic, stormwater and flooding are done in-house too, so you see how it all fits together. And if you want to stretch into stormwater, or start running small jobs yourself, there is room for that.

There is plenty of work on, mostly from clients they've worked with for years.

The team's small and technical. They like being on the tools and they care about the detail. Every job goes through design and drafting checklists, and the tricky ones get pulled apart in the boardroom first. One of the leads is a senior designer with 15+ years behind them, so you'd be learning from someone who has done it.

Its flat. If you have a question, ask. If you have an idea, back yourself. Their line is they are a practice-centred business, not a business-centred practice.

Real rewards (not just competitive). There is an employee-owned ethos and an annual profit share, split on merit.

What you'll need is somewhere between 2 and 10 years in civil design, ideally on subdivisions. 12D and AutoCAD are a must, plus a good handle on AUSTROADS. Civil 3D, PCDRAIN/PCSEWER or TMR highway design would be a bonus.

The honest bit. Its full time in an open plan office, no work from home. And its not one for career changers, or anyone who'd rather stay drafting. They want designers who have a say in the design.
