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 robust 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 New 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 environments.
Right now, they're looking for a
Associate Architect
who can step in and take ownership.
The Opportunity
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.
