Take ownership of complex Class 2 & 3 projects through the delivery phase and position yourself for the next step into senior leadership.
This role is suited to a Senior Architect who enjoys being close to the detail but also wants broader responsibility across project performance, clients, consultants and team delivery. You’ll lead projects from DA through documentation, tender and construction, with real ownership of programme, coordination, quality and commercial outcomes.
You’ll be joining an established, design-led practice with the scale and reputation to deliver significant residential and mixed-use work, while still offering a studio workplace where senior architects can stay hands-on and have a genuine influence on the project outcome.
What makes this one worth considering:
- Take ownership of consultant coordination, documentation quality and technical delivery
- Act as a key client contact and help drive programme, fees, forecasting and resourcing
- Mentor project teams and build the leadership experience needed for a broader senior role
- Clear progression into senior leadership, with profit share available as responsibility grows
- Flexibility including 1 day WFH
- Exposure to both commercially significant residential work and projects with a broader community impact
What you’ll bring
- Australian studio experience essential
- Proven delivery of Class 2/3 projects
- Solid understanding of NCC and Australian Standards
- Experience managing client relationships and project teams
- Registration and DBP preferred not required
