Lead landmark projects and help shape Adelaide’s skyline at one of SA’s most respected design studios.

• Take charge of high-value projects from $5M to $300M+ across a diverse range of sectors.
• Work in a collaborative, flexible studio with a great team culture.
• Grow your career with strong mentorship and rewarding design opportunities.

We’re partnering with a respected Adelaide-based design studio to find a Registered Architect ready to step into a Project Lead role. Known for their collaborative way of working and long-term client relationships, this team is driven by design excellence, technical rigour and a people-first culture. As the studio continues to grow, this is a chance to carve out your place in a business that values autonomy, creativity and professionalism in equal measure. Their projects typically range from $5M–$300M+, spanning commercial, health, education and hospitality sectors.

The Role

In this Project Lead role, you’ll work across a wide range of projects within the commercial, education, defence and health sectors. You’ll be managing multiple stakeholders, leading project teams and overseeing design delivery from early concept through to handover. Supported by senior leadership and integrated teams across architecture, interiors and BIM, you’ll be central in maintaining quality standards and driving design outcomes.

This is a hands-on opportunity for someone who wants to stay close to design while building client relationships and mentoring junior team members. You’ll be given the tools, trust and flexibility to shape your own path.

About You

You’re a Registered Architect with 5 - 10 years’ experience in the local market and a strong mix of design and delivery capability. You’re confident running projects, coordinating consultants, and leading small teams while staying close to the detail. A strong communicator, you enjoy fostering positive client relationships and keeping momentum through every project phase.

We're looking for:

• Australian Architecture Registration.
• Proven project experience leading projects of $20M+.
• Proficiency in Revit and confidence navigating CAD platforms.
• Strong design thinking and technical documentation skills.
• A collaborative mindset and ability to adapt in a fast-paced environment.

You’ll be stepping into a studio with deep roots in South Australia’s built environment and a future-facing mindset. This is a team that backs their people, promotes from within and works hard to create spaces that matter. If you're ready to take ownership of your work and play a part in shaping the next chapter of an iconic local studio, this could be your move.
