Lead design influence across urban land development Northern Sydney location with true work-from-home flexibility Salary to $130k package depending on experience Strong 12D workflow autonomy (8 yrs) with MUSIC DRAINS A role built for someone who doesn’t need handholding You’ve been running 12D models, solving stormwater challenges, coordinating across disciplines and carrying responsibility that goes well beyond design, yet the environment around you may limit your autonomy. You’re relied upon but not freed up. Trusted, but not empowered. This role flips that completely. Here, the team depends on your judgement, not your attendance. The Director wants someone who can take ownership of 12D delivery, shape modelling standards, and guide a small team without layers of oversight. It’s a niche consultancy with steady, diverse projects, from urban renewal to large subdivisions up to 2,000 lots, backed by a culture that genuinely values balance and independence. What you will step into Control of 12D workflows across (for example) subdivisions, urban development, stormwater and road projects Influence over modelling quality, design standards and efficient delivery methods A seat where MUSIC, DRAINS and stormwater knowledge actually inform decisions, not just outputs A small, capable team that values direction from someone experienced and steady Work-from-home as part of the culture, not a perk you must negotiate Easy access to transport plus off-street parking A pipeline large enough to give variety yet stable enough to avoid feast-and-famine cycles The freedom to deliver without micromanagement, politics or second-guessing What this role represents A shift from being the designer who carries the team quietly to the Senior Designer trusted to run the 12D function with independence and real influence.
