You will be responsible for creating and developing innovative residential housing products across a diverse range of projects, including:
  • New single and double-storey home designs
  • Split-level homes and emerging housing products
  • House and land packages
  • Developer-driven residential projects
  • Ongoing product development and design innovation
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys taking ownership, as you will be the lead designer responsible for managing projects from concept through to completion.

  • Produce architectural documentation using ArchiCAD
  • Prepare DA, CDC and construction documentation where required
  • Contribute to the design of multi-lot developments and individual housing products
  • Ensure designs are compliant, cost-effective, practical and buildable
  • Work closely with internal stakeholders across design, drafting and construction teams
  • Drive continuous improvement and innovation across the product range
About you
  • Strong background in residential design or building design (volume homes ideal)
  • Confident using Archicad
  • Experience designing new homes (not just drafting existing plans)
  • Exposure to project homes, house & land, or developer-led residential projects
  • Understanding of single, double-storey and split-level housing typologies
