Central to this role will be demonstrable capacity to DRAW. 

Drawing as a verb is the act by which architecture is conceived and communicated to the wider world.

The Drawing as a noun is the vehicle in which our architecture moves from idea to realisation.

The successful candidate will have demonstrable understanding of the key modes of representing a building - this extends beyond basic understanding of orthographic projection and into a clear appreciation of graphics, hierarchy, diagrams, drawing organisation and drawing management. 

The role of Junior Designer is principally involved in the production of design packages. These design packages are for a variety of project stages and a variety of project stakeholders from Concept and Client to Construction and Contractor. Everyone in our studio draws. We understand drawing as an active design process and not simply a clerical task. 

The role will require a basic understanding of planning, construction and architectural project sequences local to New South Wales. The successful candidate will work with a Director and/or Lead Designers to guide projects through the relevant planning and legislative systems.

2 EXPERIENCE

The successful candidate will have a proven capacity to effectively draw and model a building. The successful candidate will have a demonstrable interest and enthusiasm for the wider field and culture of architecture. Some experience of working in an architectural office or in an adjacent field is an advantage but not a prerequisite.
