About Us

We are a leading Brisbane-based end to end commercial fit-out and design company. Our projects blend creativity and functionality, always underpinned by technical rigour, safety, and delivery excellence.

Role Summary

We’re looking for a Technical Design Lead to join our team and drive the technical quality and compliance of our office fitout projects. This is a leadership role suited to someone who thrives in detail, has a strong understanding of construction compliance, and takes pride in ensuring every drawing and document is build-ready.

You’ll lead a small design team, work closely with our delivery and furniture teams as well as playing a pivotal role in lifting the quality of our design documentation to ensure pricing accuracy, buildability, and safety.

Please note: This is not a client-facing role. Your focus will be on internal technical leadership, documentation quality, and compliance.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and mentor a small team of interior designers and documenters to produce high-quality construction documentation.
  • Ensure all designs are compliant with relevant building codes, Australian Standards, and client-specific requirements.
  • Oversee the technical delivery of office fitout projects from design development through to construction documentation.
  • Champion "safety in design" practices across all projects.
  • Conduct detailed reviews of drawing sets to ensure clarity and completeness.
  • Work with subcontractors and suppliers to ensure our documentation supports accurate pricing and efficient construction.
  • Identify and implement continuous improvements to our documentation standards and workflows.
  • Collaborate closely with the Pre-Construction Manager to align on project milestones, resources, and deliverables.

Skills & Experience

  • Proven experience in technical design and documentation within the commercial interiors or office fitout sector.
  • Deep understanding of BCA/NCC, Australian Standards, and commercial building compliance.
  • Strong attention to detail and a methodical approach to documentation.
  • Experience managing or mentoring design/documentation teams.
  • Skilled in ArchiCAD; familiarity with Enscape, Programma, Smartsheets, and Adobe Suite is preferable but not essential.
  • Confident communicator, able to work collaboratively with internal teams, consultants, and subcontractors.
  • Passion for lifting the standard of design documentation and ensuring it’s fit for pricing and building.

Why Join Us?

  • Work in a tight-knit, high-performance team that values excellence, urgency, and impact.
  • Be part of an organisation that blends creativity and rigour in everything we do.
  • Have a real influence on how workspaces are brought to life—from the first sketch to final build.
  • Enjoy autonomy, ownership, and the opportunity to raise the bar on technical delivery in the fitout space.
