Project Architect – Brisbane | Developer-Facing Design Role
We're working with a well-established national architecture and design practice with a strong footprint across South East Queensland. Their Brisbane studio continues to win repeat work across seniors living, neighbourhood retail and emerging urban residential, and they're now looking to appoint a capable Project Architect to support a growing pipeline of developer-led work.
This is a hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys taking ownership of projects from concept through delivery, working closely with private clients and multidisciplinary teams.
The Role
You'll join a mid-sized, collaborative Brisbane studio delivering a mix of built and pipeline projects including:
* Seniors living communities and vertical retirement projects
* Supermarket-led retail and suburban mixed-use developments
* Build-to-rent and medium–high density residential schemes
* Select private healthcare and education projects
You'll be involved across multiple stages - from early design and planning through documentation and construction support - with genuine client exposure.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead projects through documentation and delivery phases
* Coordinate consultants and manage project programmes
* Contribute to design development and planning submissions
* Liaise directly with developers, operators and project managers
* Support junior staff and help maintain studio quality standards
What We're Looking For
* Registered Architect (QLD) or close to registration
* 8+ years' experience in Australian practice
* Ideally 5+ years local QLD experience
* Strong delivery experience on multi-residential, seniors living, retail or mixed-use projects
* Confident working with developer clients and commercial project drivers
* Solid Revit capability and documentation leadership
* Comfortable running multiple projects in a mid-sized studio environment
Why This Role?
* Consistent pipeline of built work (not just competitions)
* Strong presence in the seniors living and suburban infill space
* Opportunity to step into a visible delivery role with real ownership
* Stable national business with long-term private clients
* Brisbane-based leadership and clear career progression
This is an excellent opportunity for a Project Architect who enjoys practical architecture, values long-term client relationships and wants to play a key role in shaping projects across South East Queensland.
