Job Board

We are a multi-award winning up-and-coming architecture practice, currently looking for an experienced and self-sufficient senior architect, someone who considers themselves an allrounder. This role is initially limited to a two month period, but everything going well we would expect it to grow into a full time medium to long term relationship. It might suit a parent, as we would be happy to consider part-time and/or partly working from home for this role.

In detail, what we are looking for in the right person is
– passion for good design
– passion for the environment and a sustainable future
– an all-rounder with min 5 years of local experience
– an ability to work independently and come up with good solutions based on your own research, both in terms of design and technical detail
– well-grounded knowledge of building and planning legislation and the NCC
– a team player who can communicate effectively
– an interest in – or even better with experience in – passivhaus principles
– experience throughout all stages incl documentation and contract administration
– a never-ending passion to keep learning new things
– ideally you know Vectorworks or feel confident that you could quickly learn it.

We are a small but growing practice, with a location in Collingwood and in Coburg, offering the opportunity to get 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, together with you, and help you develop your role into something that fits you like a custom tailored suit.

We are currently working on a number of very exciting projects in the high-end residential and small-scale commercial space. The bulk of immediate work is in getting building permits and projects ready for a start on site over the next couple of months – but we would hope to find someone who will be actively involved in all stages and who is as comfortable in detailing as they are in design or interiors.

No overseas applicants please – you have to be in Melbourne and you have to have local work rights and local experience. If that sounds like it could be you, please get in touch with us now – email to HR@MelbourneDesignStudios.com.au, or via our website form below.

We look forward to hearing from you.
