Blight Rayner is an integrated architecture, urban design and interior design practice based in Brisbane. Founded in 2016, our directors Jayson Blight and Michael Rayner stay hands-on in the design and delivery process rather than managing from a distance — everyone from graduate to director is part of the same design process. We're deliberately sized and structured to concentrate our expertise and attention to detail.
Our projects span cultural & community, commercial, education, multi-residential, public and sports.
Role Description The Project Architect / Senior Project Architect is a full-time, on-site role based in Brisbane City, QLD. You'll lead projects through all phases, working closely with our directors and leadership team. Day-to-day responsibilities include preparing and reviewing architectural drawings and specifications, coordinating with consultants and contractors, and managing construction-phase documentation including RFIs and shop drawing reviews.
You'll oversee project programs and budgets, provide day-to-day leadership and mentoring to your project team, and contribute to design reviews and client presentations.
Senior candidates will be expected to mentor junior staff and uphold studio standards and regulatory compliance across their projects.
Qualifications
- 5-7+ years' experience across concept design, documentation and construction-phase services (more experienced candidates will be considered for a Senior Project Architect appointment)
- Solid design sensibility combined with excellent technical and delivery capability
- Demonstrated project management skills, with the ability to coordinate multidisciplinary teams, programs and budgets
- High-level Revit proficiency and a solid understanding of BIM workflows
- Excellent knowledge of Australian building codes, standards and construction methodologies
- Registration with the Queensland Board of Architects
- Strong communication and consultant coordination skills, with confidence representing the practice on site and in client meetings
- Experience in urban design or interior design projects, or on complex/public-sector work, is an advantage
