• Demonstrated experience delivering complex architectural projects through construction.
• Strong client and stakeholder relationship skills.
• Excellent technical knowledge and coordination experience.
• Confidence leading project delivery and making informed decisions on site.
• Experience using Revit and delivering high-quality documentation.
• Registration as an Architect in Australia (or eligibility to become registered).
