- Communicate progress clearly and meet deadlines with minimal supervision
Required Skills and Qualifications:
- Demonstrated experience as an irrigation designer, with a solid understanding of design principles, hydraulics and system layout
- Sound product knowledge of major irrigation brands (e.g. Hunter, Rain Bird, Toro, Netafim), including selecting appropriate products and equivalents

- Microsoft Product proficiency
- Strong written and spoken English — clear communication in writing and on Microsoft Teams calls, and the ability to interpret written briefs and markups
- Competence administering projects and records in a CRM and project management system

Ideal Profile

- Comfortable learning new tools like Odoo, and motivated to be a dependable, long-term part of our high-output design team.
Work Arrangement & Expectations:

- Disclose any existing ongoing roles or client work
- Not be engaged with design services for any other Australian Business
