Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Populous Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year


Architectural Package Lead
 
About the Role
We are seeking a highly skilled Package Lead to join our Melbourne studio. This role is ideal for a Registered Architect with substantial experience delivering complex, large-scale public infrastructure projects.
 
As a Package Lead at Populous, you'll play a key role in the design, documentation, and delivery of landmark civic and entertainment projects that define communities across Victoria and beyond. You'll collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams, guiding the technical and design outcomes of your project package while contributing to a vibrant and connected studio culture.
 
Your work will be grounded in creativity, technical precision, and collaboration, ensuring every detail contributes to exceptional design and build outcomes.
 
About Us at Populous
At Populous, we design the places where people love to be together. We are a global architecture and design firm built on the philosophy and power of drawing people together to share incredible experiences.
 
From our boutique Melbourne studio to projects across the world, our portfolio includes stadia, convention and exhibition centres, airports, high-performance training facilities, e-sports and entertainment venues, and mixed-use developments.
 
Our sustainable design ethos is central to everything we do, and our work reflects a balance of innovation, environmental responsibility, and community impact. You may recognise some of our recent local projects — such as the Kardinia Park Stadium redevelopment, which welcomes over 400,000 visitors annually.
 
Why Populous Stands Out
We're not just another architecture firm, we're a collective of designers, thinkers, and doers who thrive on creating meaningful experiences.
 
Our APAC team represents over 35 nationalities, and we proudly celebrate diversity and inclusion as a key strength. Populous is endorsed by Work180 for our commitment to creating equitable workplaces and was recognised in their Top 100 Employers for Women
 
We offer:
  • Flexible work arrangements to support balance and wellbeing
  • Enhanced paid leave entitlements, including fertility, parental, study, and blood donation leave
  • Global career opportunities across our international offices
  • An entertainment allowance to enjoy the venues we've helped bring to life
  • Career development opportunities, including mentorship, CPD, leadership and technical workshops
  • A vibrant office culture, with regular social events organised by our POP Social team
What You'll Be Engaged In
As a Package Lead, you'll be hands-on across all project phases, collaborating with project leads, consultants, and contractors to deliver best-in-class outcomes. You'll bring both technical and creative thinking to ensure that design integrity is maintained through every stage.
 
In this role, you will:
  • Lead and coordinate design, documentation, and delivery of your project package
  • Provide guidance and technical input to internal teams, consultants, and stakeholders
  • Apply expertise in BIM and Revit to manage and deliver high-quality documentation
  • Contribute to design reviews and presentations for clients and stakeholders
  • Ensure design intent, sustainability objectives, and technical standards are met, with preferred knowledge of the Green Guide
  • Collaborate closely with colleagues to build and maintain a positive, supportive, and inclusive studio culture
What We're Looking For
We're seeking someone who combines technical excellence with strong collaboration and communication skills.
To succeed in this role, you will bring:
  • Registration as an Architect in Australia
  • Experience delivering complex, large-scale public infrastructure projects
  • Strong technical knowledge across design, detailing, documentation, and construction administration
  • Proficiency in BIM and Revit
  • Knowledge of the Green Guide (preferred)
  • Excellent interpersonal and organisational skills
  • A collaborative mindset and commitment to contributing positively to studio culture
Join Us
At Populous, we design the places that bring people together, and that happens best when our own team reflects the diversity of the communities we serve.
 
We encourage people of all identities, abilities, and lived experiences to apply and join us in shaping the future of civic design.
