I'm recruiting for a well-established building consultancy looking for a Junior DDA / Accessibility Consultant to join their Sydney team.
You don't need previous DDA experience. If you can read architectural drawings, understand the NCC/BCA and have a good understanding of Australian Standards, you'll be given the training and mentoring to develop into a specialist accessibility consultant.
The role:
Working alongside experienced consultants, you'll learn how to review architectural drawings, identify accessibility issues and provide practical solutions that meet the relevant requirements without unnecessarily compromising the design.
You'll be involved in:
- Reviewing architectural drawings and documentation.
- Assessing buildings against NCC, DDA and relevant Australian Standards.
- Identifying and resolving accessibility and compliance issues.
- Preparing technical reports and advice.
- Working with architects, builders and developers.
- Attending project meetings and site inspections.
- Gradually taking responsibility for your own projects.
As your knowledge and confidence develop, you'll take on more responsibility and have the opportunity to build a long-term career in a specialist area of the construction industry.
Who I'm looking for:
This could suit someone currently working in:
- Architecture or building design
- Construction management or project coordination
- Contract administration
- Building or compliance

You don't need to tick every box. I'm more interested in someone who is technically minded, enjoys solving problems and genuinely wants to learn.
You'll ideally have:
- Experience reading and understanding architectural drawings
- Exposure to the NCC/BCA and Australian Standards
- Strong attention to detail
- Good written and verbal communication skills
- An interest in buildings, design and compliance
- The confidence to work with architects, builders and other construction professionals

What's on offer:
- $90K–$120K + Super, depending on experience
- Full training and ongoing mentoring
- Exposure to a broad range of building projects
- Office, site and project-based experience
- Clear career progression
