“Urbis places great importance on developing staff professionally to maintain its high industry standards and provide growth and promotion opportunities internally. I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with senior staff members on various jobs which I feel has been the single greatest benefit of my time here as it has allowed me to participate closely in the valuation process and understand the reasoning behind the numbers.
We believe your success is our success, so as your career advances, we enhance the specialist support we provide to help you grow.
Our SOAR programme supports the advancement of senior women at Urbis. SOAR was created to address the significant gender imbalance in senior positions all over Australia and aims to change the face of Australian leadership to one that’s more inclusive and diverse.
We also nurture emerging leaders through our bespoke leadership development programme – Evolve. We believe giving young people the best chance to learn and grow today, will lead to better cities and communities tomorrow.
We nurture the best and brightest students.
“As a final year Master’s Student at the University of Melbourne the Urbis Student Programme has provided me with invaluable experience alongside my formal learning. Since joining the firm, Urbis has been flexible with my University schedule and the Associate Directors and Directors has always been happy to provide me with support and guidance both in my role and assignments.
Our programme gives bright students the chance to try Urbis on for size, sample the consulting life and kick-start their careers. It also helps us identify the brightest and the best students and offer them a career with us.
Participants work in real time with real clients, so they can learn on the job from industry leaders and make lasting friendships and memories along the way.
We offer flexible hours so students can fit their work around their study commitments.
