Graduate Architect – Sydney Studio | Design from Concept to DA and beyond

Here’s a great opportunity to join one of the most respected design practices in Australia. With a 30+ year history and an expanding portfolio of high-quality residential, civic and mixed-use projects, this firm has carved out a reputation for doing things properly – thoughtful design, strong project delivery, and a genuine investment in their people.

Right now, the Sydney studio is in growth mode. With significant project workload both locally and overseas, they’re looking for capable, ambitious Graduate Architects to join the team.

You’ll work closely with an Associate and be part of a broader delivery team taking mixed-use, multi-residential and integrated housing projects from concept through to DA – and beyond. You’ll be surrounded by great people in a modern, open-plan studio environment that encourages learning, collaboration and design integrity.

Why This Role Stands Out

Projects with Purpose – From cultural icons to large-scale urban regeneration, this practice works on city-shaping projects with lasting impact.

Design-Driven Thinking – The studio pushes boundaries, always looking for smarter, better design solutions.

Supportive, Collaborative Culture – The leadership genuinely backs their people. Weekly catch ups, hands-on mentoring, and a strong feedback loop are built into the way they work.

Commitment to Sustainability – The practice is carbon-neutral certified, with sustainability baked into every project—not added on at the end.

Clear Career Pathways – Promotions from within are common, and there’s real investment in helping people grow into leadership.

Perks include:

$500 annual training allowance

Weekly design forums and CPD programs

In-house mentoring and paid parental leave

Access to Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

A diverse and inclusive studio culture

Regular social events to connect, unwind, and celebrate success

What They’re Looking For

A few years post grad experience

Ideally some experience of working on front end or delivery stage of multi-residential projects

Revit skills

Excellent communication and coordination abilities

Ambition – someone who wants to learn, contribute, and gain registration.

This is a studio that invests in their people and delivers on what they promise. If you’re ready to step into a role where you’ll get serious exposure, responsibility and career growth apply now.
