Melbourne, Australia Aurecon Group Full time

Want to bring ideas to life?

You’re in the right place. We’ve been a leading design, engineering and advisory company for decades. So why choose Aurecon? It really comes down to one, crucial question: what kind of world do you want to create for the next generation? Truth is, the decisions being made right now will determine the future of everything - from the local community to the sustainability of our clients’ businesses - to the entire planet. One of those decisions is: who do you decide to work for?

How will your ideas contribute to shaping what’s next?

We currently have multiple positions available, and as one of our new Urban Planners, you’ll work with and be supported by a team of highly skilled specialists. You will play an integral part in a team that ‘bring ideas to life’ for our clients across the built environment, transport, land and water, energy and government sectors. The Urban Planning team has a diverse offering of both strategic and statutory planning activities, and work alongside our Engineering, People, Movement & Place, and Digital teams.

Here are the key things you’ll do:

- Provide urban planning advisory and consulting services to public and private clients,
- Support in the delivery of multidisciplinary medium to large scale infrastructure projects, in particular identification of relevant planning and environmental opportunities and constraints through the masterplanning, concept, due diligence, feasibility and/or detailed design stages,
- Collaboratively work with other parts of Aurecon as necessary to leverage Aurecon’s technical ability to deliver planning advisory work,
- Navigate through complex technical and legislative requirements, frameworks, and approval pathways,
- Exercise outstanding interpersonal skills to develop relationships with a wide range of clients and critical internal and external stakeholders.

How will your future be shaped by us?

Joining Aurecon means you’ll be at the award-winning edge of innovation and sustainability. AFR ranked us Top 5 among sustainability leaders and Top 3 of all innovative companies in professional services. One Consult awarded us an innovative design award. Plus, we were Consult Australia’s large firm of the year.

You really can bring your whole self to work and be confident your voice will be heard. We don’t just claim we’re inclusive and innovative, as proven by the independent awards and accreditations we’ve gained. We’ve been recognised for our innovation culture, gender equality and our LGBTI+ inclusion. Plus, we have a robust Reconciliation Action Plan - our fourth edition since 2014.

On a personal level you’ll have access to flexible work hours, remote work, working holidays, part-time and job share options. When it comes to your development, you’ll be a part of our Advisory Development Academy, and have the option to build your technical mastery in the Aurecon Design Academy which earns you a Graduate Certificate in Design Management from the prestigious RMIT University. Plus, you’ll be supported on every step of your career journey with mentoring, leadership training and our Career Hub. Outside of work, you’ll be further supported with competitive paid parental leave, cultural public holiday swaps, plus wellbeing support programmes.

What are we looking for from you?

You’ll have a genuine passion for re-imagining problems and continuous learning to help shape the future.

We value that each of our team members brings something different to Aurecon. We look for people who have had a broad range of experiences throughout their career and can demonstrate how they have worked as part of a team to bring ideas to life.

Alongside your relevant qualification in Urban Planning or equivalent experience, you’ll also have:

- Demonstrated working experience (ranging from 1 to 5 years) in a similar position,
- Understanding of and demonstrated experience in the Victorian planning framework,
- A demonstrated ability to prepare planning reports and provide planning advice for infrastructure and land use projects,
- Strong verbal and written communication skills,
- Organised, motivated and ability to develop and maintain positive team relationships,
- A base level of design and graphic skills would be desirable,
- Previous work on infrastructure, energy and major projects will be viewed favourably.

Think you know Aurecon? You may be surprised.

Aurecon’s strength has always been our people. It’s our people who build our shared purpose and bring ideas to life. It’s our people who imagine and co-create with our clients a better future for people and the planet. Of course, you’ll probably know lots of our award-winning projects. The new Allianz Stadium in Sydney? That was us. Tāmaki Regeneration in Auckland? That was us too. And the Tseung Kwan O Interchange in Hong Kong? You guessed it, us. More specifically, our local Planning Team have been involved in cornerstone development
