Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Lovell Chen Full time $90,000 - $120,000 per year

We are seeking an experienced heritage consultant to join our Melbourne-based practice. We offer the opportunity to work across many facets of contemporary cultural heritage management — with excellent scope for career growth and development — and the chance to inspire and be inspired.

The core role is the delivery of heritage services to a wide-ranging private sector and government client base, in Victoria and nationally. The primary responsibility is the preparation of — and contribution to —advisory, strategic and statutory heritage-related advice and reports. These include due diligence pre-acquisition advice, heritage appraisals, impact assessments, conservation and heritage management plans and master plans. Reflecting the dynamic nature of heritage management more broadly, a keen interest in contemporary heritage thinking is required, and an awareness of recent developments.

You will have a sound knowledge of Australian architecture and hold an honours or postgraduate degree in a relevant field, such as architecture or heritage management and will have at least five years' experience as a consultant focused on built heritage, or the equivalent experience in government. You will be able to demonstrate your ability to work effectively and collaboratively in a team environment.

Key knowledge and skills required include:

  • excellent written and verbal communications skills
  • demonstrated ability to complete projects to a high standard, on time and to budget
  • comprehensive technical knowledge of local, state and national heritage legislation and guidelines, the Burra Charter and other relevant documents, and experience in their application
  • proven ability to independently manage the delivery of heritage services and projects
  • proven ability to provide heritage advice and guidance to clients and team members, operating within relevant statutory and legislative frameworks
  • demonstrated ability in developing relationships with clients, new and existing
  • demonstrated experience in the preparation of proposals and bids for heritage projects
