Job Description
n
At Unita, we build spaces where people love to work, shop, dine, learn, stay and play – delivering retail stores, hospitality venues, hotels, offices, gyms and wellness spaces, medical centres and education facilities across Australia.
n
But great spaces don't build themselves. Great teams do.
n
People have always been at the heart of what we do. We're big enough to deliver career-defining work across Australia, but small enough that your contribution is seen, your input is valued and the work you do matters.

Who this role suits
