Project Architect - Industrial
A design-led architecture practice is looking to bring on a Project Architect to support a growing pipeline of work across Melbourne.
The studio operates across industrial, commercial and infrastructure sectors, delivering projects that balance strong design thinking with practical, commercially viable outcomes. Their work spans early feasibility through to delivery, with a clear focus on projects that require both design input and technical resolution.
Teams are structured and collaborative, with Project Architects given the autonomy to lead while still being supported by experienced leadership. It's an environment where you're trusted to manage your projects, communicate directly with clients and take ownership of outcomes.
Role Overview
This role is suited to a Project Architect with around 7+ years' experience who is confident leading projects end to end.
You'll be responsible for managing projects from early feasibility and masterplanning through to DA and delivery, ensuring coordination across consultants, internal teams and stakeholders.
There is a strong front-end design component, but equally a need for someone who understands delivery and can keep projects moving through each stage.
Key Responsibilities
Lead projects from feasibility through to completion
Manage client relationships and project communication
Coordinate internal teams and external consultants
Oversee design development and documentation phases
Ensure projects meet planning, compliance and commercial requirements
Support and guide junior team members
Skills & Experience
Relevant architectural qualification (Bachelor or Master of Architecture)
7+ years' experience within an architectural practice
Proven experience delivering projects across industrial, commercial or infrastructure sectors
Strong capability across feasibility, masterplanning and DA stages
Demonstrated design capability alongside delivery experience
Advanced Revit proficiency
Strong communication, coordination and team leadership skills
Why This Role Stands Out
Exposure to industrial, commercial and infrastructure projects
End-to-end project involvement from feasibility through to delivery
Strong level of autonomy within a supported team structure
Opportunity to step into a leadership position within projects
This is a solid opportunity for a Project Architect looking to take ownership of projects and work across a mix of sectors, with the backing of a structured and design-focused studio.
