Shape the spaces where knowledge thrives.
At UOW, our campuses are more than buildings — they are places that inspire learning, research and community. We are looking for a Planning Officer to help us design environments that are safe, sustainable and future-focused.

About the role

You will be part of our Campus Planning team, contributing to Masterplans, sustainability projects and space utilisation strategies. From preparing project plans and feasibility briefs to reviewing design documentation and coordinating consultants, your work will directly influence the way people experience our campuses.

About you

You’re organised, analytical and confident managing projects from concept to delivery. With qualifications in planning, architecture, engineering, project management or a related field, you bring strong stakeholder skills and a sharp eye for detail. Experience with AutoCAD or Revit, or in the higher education/public sector, will set you apart.

This is your chance to join a supportive, collaborative team, develop your professional skills, and make a lasting impact on UOW’s learning environments.
