- Manage multiple projects concurrently, ensuring deadlines are met
- Engage with clients to understand needs, present design proposals, and make revisions as required
- Stay up to date with industry trends, building methods, materials, and software tools.
- Up to $105,000 + superannuation, reflecting your skill and experience
- Flexible working hours and arrangements
