Project Architect – Lead Hospitality, Hotel & Commercial Projects Nationwide
Kelvin Grove, Brisbane | Up to $120,000 + Formalised Bonus Scheme
Join an award-winning, collaborative Architecture and Interior design studio delivering standout commercial, hospitality, and hotel projects across Australia. With a newly renovated Brisbane studio, a clear national growth strategy, and an expanding client base, Cayas+Ward offers a rare opportunity for a Project Architect ready to take ownership, lead impactful projects, and grow with the business.
Why You'll Love This Role
Be Part of National Growth – With expansion underway into new states and sectors, you'll help shape the studio's growing national footprint.
Fresh, Inspiring Studio Environment – Work from a beautifully renovated, in-house designed studio in the heart of Kelvin Grove's creative precinct. Great cafés, coffee, bars, and reliable public transport are all on the doorstep, plus easy parking if you drive.
Real Flexibility That Works for You – Hybrid working with 1 day WFH after probation, flexibility around school hours, and autonomy to manage your workload like a grown-up.
Get Out of the Office – This isn't a desk only role. You'll regularly get on the road to visit sites and meet with clients, keeping the work varied and engaging.
Genuine Project Management Experience – Lead projects across all stages, from feasibility to site delivery. You'll gain hands-on experience in managing budgets, programs and consultant teams, not just drawings and deadlines.
Project Diversity – Work on everything from RSL clubs, high-end restaurants, gaming rooms and community centered hotels to national rollouts and commercial fitouts. Project values range from $2M–$10M, with full traditional contracts and real design input throughout.
Team Culture & Recognition – Down to earth directors, a formalised bonus scheme, and regular team-building days in addition to your annual leave. Past events have included sculptural light-making workshops, tree-top challenges, and other creative outings that reflect the culture and spirit of the studio.

Lead projects across all stages: design, documentation, and delivery
Engage directly with clients, builders, and consultants
Prepare working drawings, manage compliance, and coordinate on site
Run tenders, contract administration, and Quality Assurance
Mentor junior team members and contribute to a supportive studio culture
