Registered Architect Full Time (Albion)

Brisbane | Defence, civic, government and commercial projects Are you a Registered Architect who enjoys solving complex project challenges, coordinating people and information, and seeing well resolved documentation become real built outcomes? DesignInc Brisbane is looking for a capable Registered Architect to join our studio and contribute to a strong pipeline of meaningful work across Defence, civic, government, commercial, education, health, industrial and community projects. This is a role for someone who wants more than a narrow documentation position.

You will have the opportunity to work on technically complex government and public sector projects, while also gaining variety across other sectors, clients, procurement models and project stages. DesignInc is an Australia wide architecture and design practice with a clear purpose: creating healthy buildings and people centred environments.

The practice describes design as a shared journey, involving clients and consultants in the creative process, and the Brisbane studio is committed to architecture that responds to its physical and social context, with a focus on long term value rather than short term gain. Why this role At DesignInc Brisbane, you will join a smaller local studio where your contribution is visible, valued and supported, while also being connected to a broader national design network. You will work closely with project leaders, consultants and clients on projects that require strong technical thinking, explicit communication and careful coordination.

Depending on your experience, you may contribute across design development, documentation, consultant coordination, authority coordination, tender and construction phase services. The immediate need is for someone who can support Defence related work, but the role is deliberately not Defence only.

- Take ownership of packages and grow your project design and delivery capability over time. About you You are likely to be a Registered Architect who enjoys the discipline of delivery as much as the ambition of design. You are comfortable working in structured project environments, particularly where coordination, accuracy and process matter.
