Role
Looking for an experienced Design Architect to join a Melbourne studio, with a strong focus on early design and concept stages across multi-residential, student accommodation and co-living projects. Experience in commercial projects is also welcome.
This is a senior role suited to someone who enjoys shaping ideas from the ground up, can work independently, and is comfortable taking ownership of projects from the earliest stages.
The Role
You'll be working across a mix of large‐scale, high‐profile projects as well as smaller, speculative early design work. The role sits at the front end of the design process and will involve:
* Leading early design and concept development
* Translating ideas into strong, resolved design outcomes
* Working confidently and independently with a high level of autonomy
* Planning and managing your own workload, timelines and project trajectories
* Mentoring and supporting junior architects within the team
* Producing and coordinating work in Revit (proficiency required)
About You
We're looking for someone who brings both design strength and foresight to their work. You'll ideally have:
* Proven experience in early design and concept phases
* Background in multi-residential, student housing or co-living projects
* The ability to work independently and confidently make design decisions
* Strong planning and organisational skills — you can look ahead, anticipate issues and keep projects on track
* Experience mentoring or working alongside junior architects
* High‐level Revit proficiency
* Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset
Company
* A well‐established Melbourne studio of 35‐40 people
* Directors who work closely and collaboratively with the team
* A strong pipeline of significant projects alongside exploratory, design‐led work
* A culture that values autonomy, trust and initiative
* Work from home one day per week
If you're a design‐focused architect who enjoys early‐stage thinking, takes pride in ownership, and wants to work closely with a supportive leadership team on meaningful projects, we'd love to hear from you.
