We combine our creative design expertise with capabilities in strategy, research, technology and experience design, and we regularly collaborate with experts and partners from further afield.

Through our work, we're trying to build a more inclusive, sustainable future for communities - and create a more socially and ecologically resilient world.

• Participate in design reviews and contribute ideas and feedback.
• Learn from experienced professionals through observation, collaboration and mentoring.
• Take an active approach to your own professional and technical development.

The role will give you exposure to the realities of architectural practice while allowing you to build on your university studies and develop practical experience.
