With a strong pipeline of work already secured, this role has been created to address increasing demand for architectural expertise in building-centric industrial projects.

We’re looking for:

  • Demonstrated experience in industrial, healthcare, laboratory, or other complex building projects
  • Proficiency in Revit and AutoCAD, with strong understanding of BIM
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills and confident client presentation ability
  • Queensland registration (or eligibility) and façade design experience are advantageous but not required for the position
