    Description

    Job Title: Urban Planner

    Company Purpose: Delivering infrastructure for a better tomorrow.

    KBR is proud to be the Principal Design Partner for the North Western Program Alliance (NWPA), a collaboration with LXRP, Metro Trains Melbourne, and John Holland. Since 2017, NWPA has successfully delivered around $3 billion in transport infrastructure projects for the state and community. Our success has earned us a 5-year extension from LXRP, ensuring a robust pipeline of transport opportunities in Melbourne through 2027.

    The Opportunity

    We have an exciting opportunity available for an Urban Planner to join our team in Melbourne.

    Reporting to the Team Leader of Land, Planning & Environmental Approvals, you will be delivering planning services to some of the city-shaping Level Crossing Removal Projects in Melbourne. We have a range of project opportunities from water to transport – tell us your goals and we'll help you reach them.

    You will collaborate with a large multi-disciplinary team and contribute to creative solutions that yield award-winning outcomes.

    Your role will include:

    • Preparing reports such as statutory materials, environmental referrals, permit applications and other approvals in collaboration with the planning team lead or senior urban planner.
    • Providing statutory planning advice through various project stages (i.e. Development and Delivery).
    • Exercising critical thinking and problem-solving skills to proactively manage project risks in relation to planning and environmental matters.
    • Developing and maintaining good relationships with clients, authorities, community and internal stakeholders to achieve positive outcomes.
    • Managing key approvals alongside project/construction timeframes.
    • Engaging and managing planning, environmental and heritage sub-consultants and delivery of technical documentation.
    • Working closely with a multi-disciplinary team of engineers, planners, ecologists, urban designers and other built environment professionals.

    Key Requirements

    You are a motivated planning professional eager to take on a lead role in Melbourne's iconic infrastructure projects. You have a proven track record of working in a multi-disciplinary environment and managing planning requirements and risks.

    You recognize the importance of maintaining professional networks within the company and across the infrastructure industry, building strong relationships with government departments and industry stakeholders.

    Desirable Skills and Experience:

    • Bachelor's degree in planning or a related field.
    • 3-7 years of experience as a planner, preferably as a planning consultant.
    • In-depth knowledge and understanding of statutory planning.
    • Proven experience in providing planning advice for major or complex projects.
    • Strong stakeholder management skills.
    • Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
    • Eligibility for membership in a professional association.

    Why KBR?

    KBR is a workplace that strives to be considered by staff as 'The place to be' and holds this theme at the center of its strategy and business operations.

    This translates into an environment that:

    • Provides staff opportunities to diversify their skill set by working beside a broad range of business functions (engineering, stakeholder engagement, digital, construction, etc).
    • Collaborative and no-blame culture with resolution of project challenges and delivery.
    • Supports each other in managing workload.
    • Various internal and external training opportunities including 101 training series.
    • Flexible hybrid working approach with opportunities to work from home, head office and site offices.

    NWPA & KBR value an inclusive and diverse work environment, and we encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply. Our hiring decisions are based on the key requirements of each role and candidates are selected based on their unique strengths and experiences.
