Full time

We are searching for a Hamilton based New Zealand Registered Architect with a minimum of three years’ post-registration experience who is looking to further their skills while developing clear, long-term career prospects within an established and supportive practice.

This role is suited to a talented driven individual who is ready to step into a more senior, client-facing position — with a clear pathway toward potential future branch leadership.

Our projects are as diverse as our people, with a collaborative working environment and ongoing support from our four other studios throughout New Zealand.

• Represent the practice confidently in meetings and on site
• Deliver high-quality design and documentation aligned with DLA standards
• Contribute to the growth and presence of the Hamilton office
• Support and guide other team members
• Develop the capability to potentially step into a future Branch Manager position

We require a talented individual with the following attributes:

• NZ Registration (or equivalent overseas and working towards NZ registration)
• BArch, MArch or equivalent
• In-depth knowledge of the NZ Construction Industry and regulations
• Thorough working knowledge of Revit & Forma (Autodesk Construction Cloud)
• Strong design capability, demonstrated through a high-quality portfolio
• High level of accuracy and attention to detail in documentation
• Excellent communication skills
• Proven ability to lead projects
• Comfortable managing multiple projects
• Good onsite and contract administration skills
• Leadership skills
• A self-starter

How to apply

Please apply via Seek with your CV/resume including references/referees and a link to your portfolio demonstrating relevant examples of your own work. (Please include the full URL, as links inside documents uploaded to Seek do not work.)

Applicants must be currently residing in New Zealand and legally entitled to work here.

We look forward to hearing from you.
