Intermediate to Senior Urban Designer

We are seeking a passionate and talented Urban Designer to join our team of consultants in Auckland.

We have a strong pipeline of exciting, industry leading and transformational master-planning projects throughout the motu, that require people who are passionate about creating great places through well-considered, innovative, people centric, and place-based design to help forge a stronger connection between people and environments.

As an Urban Designer at Boffa Miskell, you will work collaboratively alongside clients, stakeholders, and our multi-disciplinary project teams to help create a legacy our people, clients and communities can be proud of. Our diverse range of projects and clients could see you involved in large scale spatial plans and site-based master-planning proposals one day and shaping transport and public realm opportunities or undertaking urban design reviews and assessments the next.  From the outset, you’ll be actively contributing to projects that help shape our communities and adding to our unique and fun design team culture.

We’re looking for candidates who are creative, collaborative, and innovative in their approach, and possess the following skills and attributes:

• A postgraduate qualification in Urban Design, and an undergraduate qualification in architecture, landscape architecture or planning.
• At least five years’ professional experience in urban design and related fields, preferably with some of these years in a consultancy environment.
• A portfolio of project experience that demonstrates sound project management skills, creativity, a critical eye, the ability to problem solve and actively contribute ideas.
• Skilled graphic ability and be able to use a range of digital tools and techniques. The software available to our design team includes Autodesk Suite, Sketchup, Revit, Adobe Creative Cloud and ArcGIS.
• An enquiring mind, and the ability to think both spatially and laterally.
• Clear and well-articulated written and oral communication skills and are able to effectively communicate urban design principals to a wide range of stakeholders.
• Professional registration within one or more core urban design disciplines.

Boffa Miskell is a leading New Zealand professional services consultancy, which is focused on better outcomes for our environment.
