About the role

We’re looking for a Principal-Planner to join our Sydney planning team.

This role is for an experienced statutory planner with a demonstrated track record of working within the development assessment and planning approvals process. We have a healthy pipeline of planning work across all sectors including living, health, education, tourism, industry, and greenfield development, and we’re looking for someone who can play a key role in supporting Directors to guide these projects through the planning process. This role will therefore suit a motivated, organised, dynamic and passionate individual looking to take the next step in their professional career.

Our ideal candidate for this role will have strong statutory planning experience working within the private or public sector. They will have an outcomes-oriented attitude, excellent client liaison skills, be a team player, and have a passion for working in a high performing organisation.

Why work with us?

The business of creating a better urban experience is a complex one. It requires patience, diligence, intelligence and perhaps most importantly, a passion for making a difference to our experience of urban life.

What we do and the way that we do it is unique. We view each project as a complex puzzle that requires different perspectives and alternative angles to solve it. At Ethos Urban, no one individual ever has the answer. It’s only when we bring people with different specialisations from different teams that we can see the full picture and then the way forward. We call it collective intelligence.

Ethos is a trusted adviser to many top tier clients (both private and Government), which enables our staff to work on many of the biggest, most influential projects on offer in Sydney and NSW.

We invest in our people to help accelerate their careers, including a mentoring program, a comprehensive learning and development framework and leadership training. Our team members regularly get the opportunity to attend industry events to maximise their exposure to clients, peers and experts.

We continue to hire great people with a diversity of skills, experience and backgrounds. This includes people with disability, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people identifying as LGBTIQ+, culturally and linguistically diverse people, carers and other diversity groups. We encourage applicants from any background to apply to join Ethos Urban!

We back our people: We are proponents of flexible work, we provide generous leave provisions including purchased leave (up to 4 weeks annually in addition to your standard 4), 18 weeks paid parental leave regardless of your parental definition, paid study leave & access to transitional coaching. In addition, we cover your industry memberships, we provide access to an array of great learning and personal development initiatives and incredible career pathways. And that’s not all, our partnership with Colliers International Pty Ltd allows our employees to access additional benefits to support cost of living pressures and wellbeing for instance discounts on gym membership, private medical, hotels and car rentals.

We have adopted the globally recognised United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as our ESG framework. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) is a clearly defined pathway to improving our world, and how business can align its goals and actions to help us all collectively get there.
