Job description

Our client is an internationally recognised architecture and design practice with an established reputation for design excellence, innovation and the delivery of significant projects in Australia and around the world.

About The Practice

Our client is an internationally recognised architecture and design practice with an established reputation for design excellence, innovation and the delivery of significant projects in Australia and around the world. Its portfolio spans transport and aviation, infrastructure, education and science, cultural and civic buildings, workplace, sport, residential, master planning, industry and energy.

This diversity gives its architects the opportunity to apply their skills across different project types, scales and design challenges throughout their careers. The practice's design process is founded on analysis, exploration and a detailed understanding of how buildings and places need to perform. Design ideas are developed through collaboration, testing and technical investigation, allowing ambitious concepts to become thoughtful, functional and highly resolved built outcomes.

Its work brings together strong conceptual thinking, innovation and a rigorous approach to detailing. Sustainability, environmental responsibility and the experience of the people who use each place are embedded throughout the design process.

Architects work closely with internal specialists in areas including sustainability, BIM, computational design, digital analysis and emerging design technologies. The practice's international studio network also allows people to exchange ideas, knowledge and specialist expertise across projects and locations. This is a practice for architects who want to think deeply about design, contribute meaningfully to complex projects and continue developing within an ambitious and globally connected design culture. Due to the confidential nature of this appointment, the name of the practice will be shared with suitable candidates during the recruitment process.

The Opportunity

This is an outstanding opportunity for experienced Project Architects, Senior Project Architects and Associates to join the practice and contribute to a major programme of technically complex work. You may be an accomplished Project Architect looking to work at a larger scale, a Senior Project Architect ready to lead significant packages of work or an experienced Associate seeking broader project, team and client leadership responsibilities. Depending on your experience, the role will give you the opportunity to:

• Contribute to major projects with genuine scale, complexity and long-term significance.
• Work within a highly regarded international design environment.
• Lead substantial architectural packages or multidisciplinary project workstreams.
• Participate in a rigorous and collaborative design process.
• Work closely with architects, designers, consultants and technical specialists.
• Contribute across design development, documentation and project delivery.
• Resolve complex design, coordination and buildability requirements.
• Strengthen your project, technical and leadership capabilities.
• Build relationships with clients, consultants and key stakeholders.
• Collaborate with Australian and internationally connected project teams.
• Take on responsibility aligned with your experience and career goals.

While the immediate opportunity involves technically demanding work, joining the practice can provide broader exposure to its diverse national and international portfolio over time.

• Experience delivering large-scale, complex or highly coordinated projects.
• Strong architectural design, documentation and coordination skills.
• Experience across design development and project delivery.
• Strong technical, detailing and construction knowledge.
• The ability to coordinate consultants and resolve complex project requirements.

Direct data‑centre experience is not essential where you can demonstrate strong transferable skills developed through complex, highly serviced or operationally demanding projects.
