They're thoughtful, curious, and know how to turn complexity into clarity—without forgetting the people at the heart of it all. And yes, they have a of LEGO too.

About us: Big impact, small team

At Mara Consulting, we work on the big stuff—energy, infrastructure, environment, water, resources, transport, education, and aged care projects that help shape communities. But we care just as much about the small stuff—like genuine conversations, thoughtful strategy, and making every engagement count.

We are committed to strengthening Aboriginal participation in the projects we deliver—and that starts with our own team. That's why this position is open only to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander applicants.

  • Attend and support community meetings, pop-ups, and public exhibition events

  • Collaborate with a team that values integrity, impact and relationships.

What you'll bring

This is a great role for someone early in their career—or someone with experience looking for a new challenge. We'll shape the role to match your strengths and career goals.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills

  • Confidence in building trust with a range of people and perspectives
