We’re hiring an experienced Architect to join our Melbourne studio, pushing the limits of modular design in Australia.
Arkular is seeking a design-driven, technically skilled Architect to join our team. This is an opportunity for an experienced professional to take on more leadership, guiding projects from concept to delivery and helping shape the future of sustainable, modular design in Australia.
You’ll bring robust documentation and delivery skills, with solid proficiency in ArchiCAD (preferred) and a deep understanding of the design process across all project stages. Your ability to lead with both creativity and precision will be essential as you collaborate with our interdisciplinary team and external consultants.
We’re currently delivering a diverse mix of projects across Australia’s East Coast from passive-designed modular homes to large-scale wellness retreats, set in beautiful locations across New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, and Tasmania.
At Arkular, we value architectural outcomes that are thoughtful, responsive to the location, and grounded in environmental responsibility. We combine considered design with modern construction techniques to produce impactful, buildable work, and we’re looking for architects who are excited by that challenge.
If you’re ready to take your career to the next level and want to work with people who care about what they’re building and where your leadership is encouraged, we’d love to hear from you.
