  • Develop your consultancy and project management capabilities and enhance your ability to work with relevant policy and legislation, as well as understand and address contemporary issues within the urban development industry.
  • Develop a broader skillset through working alongside economists, urban designers, social planners, project managers and community & stakeholder engagement professionals.

We're looking for an experienced Urbanist-Planner who has:

  • A tertiary qualification in Planning or a related degree/discipline.
  • 1-3 years of urban planning experience within a professional services firm or state/local government.
  • Well-developed organisational and time management skills, with a flexible and positive attitude to working on multiple projects concurrently.
  • Working knowledge of the Queensland planning framework.
  • Well-versed communication skills, and the ability to build rapport with clients and other project team members.
  • Excellent writing skills, who can draft efficiently, write accurate and comprehensive reports, and prepare external correspondence.
  • A professional commitment to striving for excellence.

Why Work with Us?

The business of creating a better urban experience is complex, requiring patience, diligence, intelligence, and a passion for making a difference. At Ethos Urban, no one individual has all the answers. It's when we bring together people with different specialisations from different teams that we see the full picture and find the way forward – we call this collective intelligence. We continue to hire great people with diverse skills, experience, and backgrounds, including those with disability, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, LGBTIQ+ individuals, culturally and linguistically diverse people, carers, and other diversity groups.
