Custom Homes | Project Homes | Revit | Brisbane

We're looking for an experienced Building Designer who thrives on variety.

This isn't a role where you'll spend every day making minor amendments to standard plans. You'll work across everything from premium custom homes and bespoke client designs through to standard home ranges, townhouse developments and helping shape the design systems that support our future growth.

If you've built your career with a leading Australian volume builder, know Revit inside out, and are looking for an opportunity to have a much bigger impact, we'd love to hear from you.

About Us

Pilgrim Future Group is home to three residential building brands:

• Pilgrim Luxury Homes – architecturally designed custom homes.
• Chapter Homes – premium project homes with a strong focus on design.
• Avenir Homes – investor and development-focused housing solutions.

As our business continues to grow, we're building an in-house design team capable of delivering exceptional design across every market segment.

The Role

This is a hands-on design position with plenty of variety. You'll be involved in:

• Designing custom homes from client brief through to construction documentation.
• Developing and maintaining our standard home ranges.
• Designing duplexes, townhouses and small-scale residential developments.
• Creating and refining Revit families, templates and company standards.
• Working closely with sales, estimating, interior design and construction teams.
• Producing high-quality documentation suitable for construction.
• Continuously improving our design systems and workflows.

About You

You'll ideally bring:

• 5+ years' experience as a Building Designer or Residential Draftsperson.
• Strong experience working for an Australian volume home builder.
• Advanced Revit capability.
• Experience designing both custom homes and standard home ranges.
• Experience with townhouse and medium-density residential projects.
• Strong understanding of Australian residential construction methods and NCC requirements.
• Excellent attention to detail and documentation standards.
• A practical mindset with strong problem-solving ability.
• The confidence to work independently while collaborating with a high-performing team.

Career Growth

We're not just hiring for today's role.

As our design team expands, this position has a genuine pathway into a Drafting Manager / Design Manager leadership role for the right person.

If you're someone who enjoys improving systems, mentoring others and helping build a best-in-class design department, we'll provide the opportunity to grow into that responsibility.

Why Join Us?

• Work across luxury custom homes, premium project homes and townhouse developments.
• Genuine design variety—no two weeks are the same.
• High-quality projects and a design-led business.
• Modern Revit-based workflow.
• Opportunity to influence the future of three growing brands.
• Clear leadership pathway as the business scales.
• Competitive salary based on experience.
