Senior Architect 

We are a looking for an experienced allrounder, as a long term career prospect with leadership intentions. We offer great perks for the right person!

You are hands-on, and passionate about sustainable design. You seek to be part of a growing, fun team, while creating beautiful, contemporary and sustainable architecture.  You feel that all stages from initial sketches and interiors to documentation are part of the design process. You are keen to work on exciting high-end residential, and small commercial, projects with a sustainable approach, often designed and procured as passive houses.

We are a multi-award winning practice that is growing. We don’t like unpaid overtime, and provide a great work environment. Our work focuses a lot on the way we live, and how we can create a better future. You want to do the right thing for the planet while earning a living and enjoying your work, and you are looking for a new challenge. We offer this opportunity, together with lots of extra benefits.

The ideal candidate should bring :

• passion for good design with a keen eye for detail
• passion for the environment and for a sustainable future
• knowledge of passive house principles – if you are a certified passivhaus designer, even better !
• several years of experience, based on a degree in architecture, and a thirst for continuous learning
• proven experience in high-end residential + commercial
• experience with BIM software (We work with Vectorworks, but if you have used other 3D BIM packages like Revit or Archicad before, you could be easily proficient in Vectorworks by the time you start working with us)

We are pretty open and flexible, and happy to discuss part-time/work from home arrangements or other special requests, to accommodate parenting needs or lifestyle wants.

This is a great opportunity to grow with the practice and to stay involved with all facets of our profession, and more. It’s never boring here… And of course we are happy to look at your particular likes and dislikes, or strengths and weaknesses, with you, and help you develop your role into something that fits you like a custom tailored suit. The successful applicant will enjoy a range of additional benefits, like extra holidays, a free weekend break each year, a savings plan for your home and more. 

If this sounds like a great fit, we’d love to hear from you. Please get in touch with us now – email to HR@MelbourneDesignStudios.com.au, or via the form below. Applicants must be eligible to work in Australia. Any questions, please feel free to email or call the office.

We look forward to hearing from you.
