ABOUT THE COMPANY

A leading multidisciplinary design practice with a strong presence across Australia, working across urban design, landscape architecture, architecture and planning.

The Sydney team works on a diverse range of projects that shape new communities and urban environments, from large-scale masterplans through to public realm and place-making projects.

Due to continued growth and a strong project pipeline, they are looking to strengthen their Urban Design team with an experienced Senior Urban Designer or Associate.

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a key opportunity to join an established Urban Design and Cities & Places team working across some of NSW's most significant masterplanning and urban renewal.

You’ll play an important role in driving project delivery, managing teams and contributing to the ongoing growth of the NSW portfolio, working closely with senior design leaders and the wider multidisciplinary studio.

The role would suit an experienced Senior Urban Designer looking to step into an Associate position, or an established Associate who wants greater responsibility across project leadership, client relationships and design direction.

The work spans large-scale masterplans, new communities, urban renewal, mixed-use precincts, town centres and public realm, giving you the opportunity to work at a genuinely city-shaping scale.

DUTIES

• Lead and deliver urban design projects from concept through to completion.
• Develop large-scale masterplans and urban design frameworks.
• Work across new places, public realm and urban renewal projects.
• Manage project delivery, timelines and coordination.
• Collaborate with architects, landscape architects, planners and external consultants.
• Prepare design strategies, presentations and documentation.
• Support project teams and mentor junior designers.
• Contribute to client relationships and project work-winning opportunities.

SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

• Strong experience in urban design and large-scale masterplanning.
• Experience working on new places, public realm and mixed-use/urban projects.
• Strong understanding of urban design principles, place-making and spatial planning.
• Proven ability to manage projects and drive delivery.
• Strong design, communication and presentation skills.
• Confident working with clients, consultants and multidisciplinary teams.
• Relevant tertiary qualification in Urban Design, Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Planning or a related discipline.
• Senior Urban Designer through to Associate level will be considered.

CULTURE

The studio has a genuinely multidisciplinary and collaborative culture, with Urban Design, Landscape Architecture and Architecture working closely together rather than operating as separate teams. The practice places a strong emphasis on shared authorship, where ideas are developed and strengthened collectively.

You’ll be joining a team where design thinking and project delivery are equally important, with the opportunity to have a genuine influence on projects from early strategy and masterplanning through to the delivery of places and public spaces.

The practice also puts a strong focus on people and wellbeing, with a culture built around mutual respect and giving people opportunities to grow. Recent team appointments and internal progression also highlight a strong emphasis on developing and retaining talent.

BENEFITS

• Opportunity to work across large-scale, high-profile urban projects.
• Clear opportunity for progression into an Associate-level position.
• Flexibility around the workday
• Working from home
• Supportive environment with opportunities to take ownership and influence project outcomes.
