Role Overview:
Senior project architect – Hobart or Melbourne
We are looking for a senior project architect with at least 15 years’ experience, demonstrated exceptional project and team leadership capabilities and who is an admirable all-rounder in the delivery of architecture and design projects from inception to realisation.
You are a creative, critical thinker with an impressive ability to communicate in all its forms, problem-solve and take the resolution of designs and documentation to the next level either by yourself or through leading a project team.
You have a growth mindset, can resolve and coordinate complex outcomes and are an outstanding communicator who can lead project teams to deadline with rigour and expertise. You are a maestro at juggling multiple projects with the ability to distil priorities when confronted with competing demands.
You know that problems exist to be creatively solved. As a leader in the Studio, you use your initiative and are driven by the desire to explore the full potential of every idea. You mentor less experienced team members. You strive for excellence and always seek the best outcome rather than the easiest path. You are progressive, curious and will ignite the minds of your teammates, promoting the value of working in a collaborative environment because you understand that an inspired, cohesive team can achieve better outcomes than any one individual.
Technically you are skilled at translating design ideas right through to detailing with rigour – you know regulatory frameworks inside out and know how to apply these laterally. You thrive being responsible for the deliverables of all project stages, have an eye and acumen for developing clever details, and have an in-depth knowledge of construction systems and sustainability principles. Your knowledge of 3D modelling and presentation software is competent – grasp of ArchiCAD and the full Adobe Creative Suite is a must.
We are also currently looking for a project architect and ArchiCAD Leader.
