Lead your own projects end-to-end across large-scale commercial work
Step into a true leadership position with autonomy and influence
Join a nationally recognised, design-led practice with a strong project pipeline

If you’re at the point in your career where you’re already leading projects but not quite being given the recognition, autonomy, or scale you’re capable of, this is worth your attention.

Our client is a highly respected, design-led architectural practice with a strong presence across Australia and Current Zealand. For nearly three decades, they’ve operated in that rare space between bold ideas and real-world delivery, shaping everything from major commercial developments to meaningful, human-centred settings.

Right now, they’re looking for a Associate Architect who can step in and take ownership.

The Chance

This is a genuine leadership role, ideal for someone ready to move beyond “senior” and into broader influence.

You’ll be trusted to:
Lead projects from concept through to completion
Manage client relationships and stakeholder engagement
Oversee program, delivery, and design integrity




Coordinate internal teams and external consultants
Make key decisions around budget, documentation, and delivery outcomes

What Sets This Apart
Real project ownership – not just supporting someone else’s vision
Strong pipeline of work across large-scale commercial projects
Design + delivery balance – maintain design intent without compromising buildability
Established, collaborative team that values accountability and initiative
Clear pathway to leadership within a nationally recognised practice

About You

You’re already operating at a senior level, but you’re ready for more.
Are a Registered Architect (or very close)
Have proven experience leading projects end-to-end
Are confident managing clients, consultants, and internal teams
Understand both design intent and technical delivery
Bring a calm, solutions-focused approach under pressure

Most importantly—you take ownership. You don’t wait to be told.
