About the role

We're looking for a recent architecture graduate with strong documentation skills to join our established team in Southbank.

You'll work on real projects from day one, alongside senior architects on commercial and retail work across Australia. Because every project is designed and documented from our Melbourne office, you'll gain national project experience without needing to relocate.

The role is mainly office-based, with regular opportunities for site inspections and measures, and occasional interstate travel.

We're known for clear, well-resolved documentation, and you'll learn to produce it to the same standard.

- Mentoring from senior architects with extensive industry experience
