Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Hill Start International Pty Ltd Full time $140,000 - $160,000 per year

Hill Start International Pty Ltd is a specialist recruitment company working with quality clients to represent exceptional career opportunities across Australia.

Our client is a nationwide provider of specialist design, construction and fit out solutions to a highly profitable market in Australia. They have a track record of successfully completing projects nationwide and continue to reinforce their position as a design and market leader in their field. They have a skilled and well-established architectural design team of eight currently creating fantastic workplaces for clients across Australia.

Due to a sustained increase in the number of projects as well as a strategic focus on continuing to improve design capability, 
we have been exclusively engaged to recruit a creative and commercial Senior Architect to join the team in a leadership capacity to oversee the entire design process for clients
. This is a full time, permanent role and there is substantial opportunity for growth within the business by developing the company's capabilities as it continues to grow, as well as ensuring quality output. There will also be hands on management of your own client projects creating modern, creative designs for clients.

Specific duties will involve.

  • Manage and coordinate the design team output and projects. Working with the Design Director to ensure accuracy and quality of project designs and outputs for the internal construction team.
  • Deputise for the Design Director and take a leadership role with the team.
  • Manage your own clients and projects. Provide architectural designs for construction and fit-out projects across Australia. Manage projects across all stages from concept design to full documentation.
  • Improve overall design quality of projects to create stylish and functional workspaces.
  • Using Revit.
  • Maintain and develop client relationships. Coordinate and attend client meetings. Present documentation packages for client review.
  • Liaise with external consultants, engineers and project managers. Prepare and submit detailed designs to local authorities.
  • Mentor junior team members and experienced architects.

The business is well-established and has excellent prospects for the future. They operate in a relatively recession-proof market, have grown from 1 to 8 architects over the last 10 years and are now embarking on a new period of expansion and diversification, opening up new market opportunities. Working closely with a committed and passionate management team, there is plenty of scope to genuinely add design flair to interesting and challenging projects.

This is a key senior role in the business and as such 
would most likely appeal to an architect with 10 years or more of quality architectural experience gained in Australia. The remuneration on offer will align with your experience but is expected to be in the region of $140K plus super and bonus.

To succeed in this role, you will need to demonstrate.

  • Degree or higher tertiary education in architecture.
  • 10+ years of quality, postgraduate architectural experience gained in Australia. Architectural experience for retail, commercial, office, education or healthcare projects will be crucial.
  • Proven ability to work with the builder on design and construct projects. Demonstrated capability to ensure projects are accurate and ready to be built.
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced work environment and able to ensure individual and team output is of a high quality. Ensure, as volume of projects continues to grow, staff capabilities are developed to maintain quality.
  • Able to demonstrate design flair across projects.
  • Advanced skills and experience with Revit.
  • Sound understanding of relevant building codes and regulations in Australia.
  • Eligibility to work within Australia.

The role will operate between the Melbourne office close to Southern Cross station and the Geelong HQ. There will be also travel as required to client locations across Victoria/Australia. This is a long-term career role with the opportunity to develop your skills and over time take on more responsibility within the business.

In the first instance, please submit your CV and any accompanying information to the Director and Principal Consultant, Jeremy Hill, quoting reference JH40299 and we will be in touch with you to discuss this in more detail.
