Placemaking consultant

Brisbane
Fourfold Studio
Posted: 12 March
Offer description

Salary: By negotiation with the successful candidate.

Hours: Full time, based in our Brisbane office (Part time may be considered)

Who we are

A small team with big ambitions, we are passionate about creating places that prosper, and we do it differently.

Our team is a multidisciplinary blend of urban designers, planners, visual storytellers, and community experts. We believe our cross-disciplined skillset is what allows us to deliver outside the box thinking and innovative approaches to a wide range of audiences. You don't need a background in the built environment or creative industries (although it's a plus!), but you have to be driven to foster a genuine collaboration that empowers people to contribute to the places they love.

We're not your average consultancy, we're purpose driven and our team are immensely proud of our unique work methods and strong client relationships. If you're driven to work with a team that cares, on problems that matter, we'd love to hear from you.

Who you are

* You have a passion for people and an understanding of placemaking, planning and design. This is not just a job to you.
* You understand that great places aren't just "built", they are connected, curated, and felt.
* You are keen to get hands-on in the delivery of a range of creative engagement events and activations.
* You have a creative flair and keen eye for detail.
* You are a strategic thinker and can turn challenges into solutions-focused outcomes.
* You love being part of a team and are happiest collaborating with others, especially cross-functionally.
* You are driven by projects that put people and place first and love thinking about new ways to get the best outcomes.
* You're a great listener and have experience working with people from a range of different backgrounds.
* You possess a self-starter attitude and strong work ethic, with the ability to adapt to rapidly changing and ambiguous environments.
* You're a clear communicator, able to simply articulate what it is you do and why, to a variety of audiences.

Who we are looking for

We're looking for bright innovative thinkers, with a passion for urban regeneration and design challenges, backed up with a passion for connecting people with place. You are someone who understands that people are at the centre of everything we do.

* 4+ years of experience within the built environment or creative industries like placemaking, urban planning, architecture, or design
* Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite with the ability to transform complex ideas into clear and engaging narratives
* Experience and solid understanding in community engagement, development and/or community activations
* Effective communication skills (written and verbal)
* Skills in data analysis and turning it into actionable insights
* Keen interest in place experience or experience design

For bonus points:

* Strategic or design thinking
* Knowledge of digital innovations and/or AI integration
* Experience in place branding, interpretation and/or storytelling
* Experience in managing consulting projects

Why work with us

* Purpose driven work: You will feel like you are positively contributing to the creation of places people love and feel connected to.
* Community connections: You will build meaningful connections with community members across Australia.
* Client relationships: Our team members pride themselves on working for and collaborating with great people!
* Supportive environment: You will work within a team of likeminded people who are hard workers but enjoy a fun working environment.
* Flexible work: Our team loves in-person collaboration but also works from the location that helps them do their best work.
* Travel: Our work takes us into communities and places all around Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and beyond.
* Professional development: You will have access to a team-led budget for professional growth, empowering us to invest in areas that matter most.

Keen to apply?

If you're keen to get to know us more, then please head to our website (https://www.fourfoldstudio.com.au/careers) and follow the prompts to apply! You'll be asked to send us a link to your Linkedin profile, and answer the following questions:

* What is one of your favourite place-based experiences or public spaces? What makes it so special and why?
* Tell us about a time that your idea or concept wasn't well received. What went wrong and how did you resolve it?

We'll email you to confirm once we receive your application. We are interviewing as we receive applications, and will remove this listing when the role has been filled.
