Job description

Bearspace is a growing Brisbane design studio creating thoughtful, beautifully considered spaces that bring together creativity, functionality and human connection.

We’re a small, tight-knit team, which means you won’t disappear into a large practice or spend years working on one small component of a project. You’ll work closely with the broader team, have visibility across projects and see how ideas develop from design through to documentation and delivery.

Our work crosses architecture and interiors, including refurbishment and fitout projects, giving you the opportunity to develop a broader understanding of how spaces are designed, detailed and ultimately built.

It’s a collaborative environment where people share ideas, help each other out and care about producing great work. As the studio continues to grow, there’s plenty of opportunity for your role to grow with it.

The Role

We’re looking for an Architectural Designer, Architectural Technician or Draftsperson who enjoys the technical and documentation side of projects and wants to continue developing their career.

Your background could be in architecture, architectural drafting, architectural technology or interiors. You might be an architectural graduate with a few years behind you, an Architectural Designer, an Architectural Technician, or an experienced Draftsperson who loves documentation and detailing.
You’ll work closely with the design team to take ideas and turn them into well-resolved, coordinated and construction-ready documentation.

Depending on your experience, you’ll be involved in:

• Revit modelling, drafting and documentation
• Producing plans, elevations, sections and detailed drawings
• Developing architectural and interior documentation packages
• Design development and technical detailing
• Working across refurbishment, fitout and architectural projects
• Coordinating architectural, interior and consultant documentation
• Working with architects, designers, consultants, suppliers and builders
• Resolving design and technical issues
• Supporting tender and construction documentation
• Responding to mark-ups, RFIs and project changes
• Attending site visits and project meetings
• Taking increasing ownership of documentation and project packages

There’s plenty of scope to broaden the role as you develop. If you’re interested in taking on more project responsibility, getting involved in design or working more closely with clients and consultants, those opportunities can grow with you.

About You

You’re probably someone with a few years of industry experience who has built a good technical foundation and is now looking for a studio where you can get broader exposure and continue developing.

You may have trained in Australia or overseas. Ideally, you’ll have at least 12 months' experience working within an Australian architecture or design practice, so you already have some familiarity with local documentation, construction processes and standards.

Experience working across architecture and interiors, particularly refurbishment or fitout projects, would be highly regarded.
More than anything, you’ll enjoy being part of a small, collaborative team. You’re happy getting into the detail, asking questions, solving problems and taking responsibility for getting things done properly.

You’ll ideally bring:

• Around 2+ years' experience as an Architectural Designer, Architectural Technician, Draftsperson or similar
• At least 12 months' Australian practice experience
• Strong Revit capability
• Good architectural drafting and documentation skills
• Experience across architecture, interiors, refurbishment or fitout projects
• A good understanding of construction and detailing
• An eye for design and strong attention to detail
• An understanding of Australian building standards and documentation requirements
• The ability to work through technical problems and find practical solutions
• Strong communication and collaboration skills
• A proactive approach and willingness to take ownership
• A genuine interest in continuing to learn and develop

You don’t need to fit neatly into one particular title. If you can document, detail and use Revit well, understand how projects come together and want to be part of a growing design studio, we’d like to hear from you.

Why Bearspace?

• A small, tight-knit and genuinely supportive team
• Beautiful, thoughtfully considered projects
• Exposure across both architecture and interiors
• Work across refurbishment, fitout and broader architectural projects
• See projects through multiple stages rather than being siloed
• Work closely with experienced architects and designers
• Build your Revit, detailing and technical capability
• Broaden your construction and project delivery experience
• Take on greater project responsibility as you develop
• Have a genuine voice in a growing studio
• Build a role and career that can evolve with you

Whether your longer-term path is becoming a great technical specialist, developing further as an Architectural Designer or taking on greater project responsibility, Bearspace offers the opportunity to keep building your capability while being part of a team where your contribution genuinely matters.
