• Defecting, quality assurance and commissioning

Key Requirements

• A background as a Registered Architect, Architectural Designer or early career Development Manager with experience across design practice
• Experience in high density mixed use / residential is preferred
• Strong understanding of the full design lifecycle — from competition and concept through to design development, documentation, delivery and handover
