Careers at NDC
NDC is always on the lookout for qualified, experienced and enthusiastic surveyors, civil engineers & draftspersons and planners to join our team. If you’re keen to live in the beautiful Northern Rivers region of NSW and are looking for a job which delivers a challenging and rewarding variety of projects, we’d like to hear from you.
NDC is a mid sized consultancy firm based in Lismore and Kingscliff. Projects extend across the north east corner of NSW – from Tweed Heads in the north, to Coffs Harbour in the south, to Tenterfield in the west. This area is experiencing significant population growth pressures which translates to a wide range of challenging and interesting projects for our team.
