Job description

This is an opportunity to take on an Associate-level position within an established national architecture practice, working on major developments for leading Australian and international clients.

A key project is a large-scale warehouse and distribution facility for one of the world's largest e-commerce and technology companies. The development involves complex operational requirements, advanced logistics systems and extensive coordination across multiple design and engineering disciplines.

The position combines project leadership, technical delivery and commercial responsibility. This includes overseeing project teams, managing consultant and client relationships, monitoring programmes, budgets and resources, and ensuring design and documentation standards are maintained through to construction.

There is also involvement in mentoring Architects and Technicians, improving project delivery processes and contributing to client relationships and future business opportunities. The role offers considerable autonomy, with experienced Directors available for support when needed.

While the practice is well established in industrial architecture, experience in this sector isn't essential. Architects with a background in major commercial developments, data centres, hospitals, stadiums, infrastructure or similarly complex projects would also be considered.
