After I completed my two year registration process I progressed to a Valuer within this team working on a diverse range of projects including shopping centre portfolios, commercial office, resumption and compensation assessments and development feasibilities.

After three years in Brisbane I transferred to the Urbis Sydney office with a focus on retail valuations. Some two years into my time in Sydney I was given the opportunity to move into the Property Economics & Research team as a Senior Consultant to round out my retail expertise and I have since been promoted to Associate Director in the Melbourne Property Economics & Research team.

Urbis has provided me with such wonderful opportunities to work on a large range of projects across the country, with a number of major clients, and develop a diverse skill set in a unique and social environment.”

I enjoy advising the breadth of Urbis clients and working on significant projects that enable me to extend my experience far beyond many of my peers with the qualification of a Certified Practising Valuer. 

The collaborative culture of the various disciplines has given me a more rounded learning experience and the ability to develop networks within the industry.  In my current role as a leader, it is exciting to be able to offer the next generation of experts the opportunity to work in a diverse and flexible environment.”

Urbis is heavily invested in training and developing its people to ensure growth, in a professional and personal capacity.

My directors have assisted me in identifying and utilising my strengths, in order to progress through my career, and have offered support to develop areas of expertise that I am interested in.”

Suffice to say, the student pathway at Urbis, is an extraordinary professional opportunity that surrounds you with inspiring people in a highly successful working environment. Upon reflection, the mentoring I received as a student from a partner in the business vastly accelerated my career.

I was provided opportunities to work on a range of unique projects in a number of different sectors of planning, and had exposure to range of industry leading clients and professionals. It was through this network, and the support of Urbis, that I was able to  pursue a secondment within a government organisation to experience firsthand the role of a decision maker within a political environment – an experience that I found invaluable.

Now working at Urbis at a Senior Consultant, I attribute many of my professional strengths to the opportunities I received, and the relationships I was able to develop working at Urbis. Needless to say, I would encourage you to apply!”
