If you’re based in Melbourne and looking for greater affordability, shorter commutes, easy access to beaches and outdoor living, this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. Join a well-established WA consultancy and work on some of Western Australia’s most exciting land development and infrastructure projects while enjoying the lifestyle benefits Perth is known for.

  • Strong workbook of stimulating and challenging projects with genuine career progression opportunities to Senior Designer, Design Lead and beyond.
  • Direct mentorship from Directors and Design Manager.
  • A collaborative environment where designers are encouraged to develop a “big picture” understanding of projects rather than being siloed into individual tasks.
  • Highly hands-on leadership team who pride themselves on technical excellence and quality outcomes.
  • Modern offices located close to public transport.
  • Close-knit team culture with flexibility and a strong commitment to work-life balance.
