Architect – Data Centres

We’re looking for an Architect to join Goodman's internal data centre design and development team. This is a front‑end design role — focused on concept design, site analysis and early‑stage spatial planning across a growing national pipeline of hyperscale and edge data centre projects.

You’ll work alongside Development Managers and an internal team of MEP subject matter experts to unlock site potential, produce architectural master plans and massing concepts, and help shape projects before they’re handed to external delivery teams.

This role suits an architect with 2–5 years of post‑graduate experience who wants to build capability in conceptual master planning, consultant coordination and early design problem‑solving within complex, highly serviced environments.

What You’ll Do

- Produce concept designs, master plans and massing studies that maximise site utility and support project feasibility across the national DC pipeline.
- Translate customer requirements and technical briefs into functional architectural responses during early project definition.
- Work closely with internal MEP engineers to integrate power, cooling and service routing into early architectural envelopes and spatial layouts.
- Coordinate external architectural consultants across multiple states, ensuring concept schemes align with Goodman design standards, timeframes and quality expectations.
- Conduct site analysis — topography, access, constraints, utility servicing — across varied site conditions.
- Research local planning controls, zoning rules and state‑based approval pathways (NSW, VIC, QLD) to support concept alignment.
- Produce clear diagrams, site plans,



test fits and visual presentation material for project proposals and stakeholder discussions.
- Support design reviews, track consultant deliverables and maintain coordination and consistency across early‑stage project outputs.

Experience Required

- Bachelor or Master of Architecture
- 2–5 years of post‑graduate experience in a professional architectural setting.
- Data centre experience is preferred (strong experience in large industrial, infrastructure or mission critical projects is highly regarded).
- A solid understanding of how highly serviced MEP buildings work and how major power, cooling and service infrastructure influence architectural layouts.
- Experience working with multidisciplinary consultants and technical stakeholders across concept design, feasibility or early project stages.
- Working knowledge of Australian planning controls, zoning pathways and local approval requirements for industrial or infrastructure developments.
- Strong spatial problem‑solving skills and an interest in heavy industrial or technology‑driven master planning.
- High proficiency in Revit and AutoCAD.
- Experience with Rhino, SketchUp, Enscape or Adobe Creative Suite is a plus.
- Clear communication skills. You can explain design logic, layout strategies and site responses to engineers, Development Managers and non‑architectural stakeholders with confidence.

The Advantages

- Paid Parental Leave
- Study assistance for postgraduate and undergraduate courses
- Discretionary bonus scheme
- Eligibility to participate in Goodman’s share scheme
- Wellness program that focuses on the health and wellbeing, including exercise classes, meditation, yoga, social events, exclusive discounts, cooking classes, financial wellbeing seminars and more.
