Graduate Building Designer

2 days ago

Warrnambool, Victoria, Australia MPAA Studio Full time $65,000 - $75,000 per year

Start your career in a studio where design, detail, and people all matter.

We're looking for a Graduate Building Designer to join our small Warrnambool-based team at MPAA Studio - a studio where thoughtful design meets a relaxed coastal lifestyle.

We're a close-knit team of two designers and three town planners, working together on bespoke homes and commercial projects that make a real difference in how people live and work. Our projects stretch across south-west Victoria and beyond - each one crafted with care, technical excellence, and purpose.

This is your chance to learn directly from experienced designers, gain exposure to every stage of the design process, and develop the technical and creative skills that set you up for a long, rewarding career. You'll be supported, mentored, and part of a team that genuinely cares about what we do - and how we do it.

What you'll find here

  • A 4-day work week (on full pay) following an initial 6-month period of working 5 days per week, to ensure you're well supported as you settle into the role
  • Mentorship from senior designers who value detail and design integrity
  • Exposure to a diverse range of residential and community projects
  • A supportive, people-focused studio where everyone's voice matters
  • A calm, design-driven workplace - and free coffee from our friends at Allee Espresso
  • Salary range $65,000–$75,000 + super, depending on experience

What we're looking for

  • A recent graduate (or soon-to-graduate) of Building Design, Architecture, or a related discipline
  • Proficiency or emerging skills in ArchiCAD (training and mentoring provided)
  • A genuine interest in construction and how buildings come together
  • Strong attention to detail, curiosity, and a collaborative spirit
  • Must be based in Warrnambool, working closely with the team on-site

Our Values

We're proud to work in a team where how we do things matters just as much as what we do.

  • We bring our best. We're committed to excellence in the services we offer and the way we offer them. We bring our best every day, for everyone.
  • We are driven by kindness. We care for each other's hopes, needs, and aspirations - and in doing so, we cultivate a company that cares deeply for the people we serve.
  • We are constantly improving. We're committed to ongoing, positive change that leads to growth for our company and each other.
  • We aim to be generous. We look for opportunities to give back - through the way we treat people, the projects we support, and our contributions to local initiatives and organisations.

If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.

Please send your CV, portfolio, and a short note about why this role excites you to

Please note: We'll be shortlisting and interviewing applications as they are received.
