• Maintain design quality and intent across a delivery program of 2+ years.

About You:

You champion excellent integrated design and are an advocate for our profession. You possess a strong commercial acumen and are skilled at building relationships with tier 1 stakeholders, enabling you to navigate complex decision-making and influence clarity of purpose across multidisciplinary teams.

You bring:

• Strategic project leadership.

The Opportunity:

This role is Fremantle-based, with time spent in CBD project offices. You will be involved in city/state/nation building projects within a work culture deeply grounded in values.
