Health architecture is a different kind of design challenge. Get it right and you're not just delivering a building; you're shaping how people heal. If that's the kind of work that gets you out of bed in the morning, we want to hear from you.
We're working exclusively with an established international consultancy to find a Senior Health Architect (Associate) for their Brisbane studio. You'll join a genuinely global team with a strong local pipeline of health work, and step straight into one of the more meaningful briefs on the market right now.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
This is a large-scale mental health facility, delivered in association with Queensland Health. You'll be involved from concept through to schematic design, working alongside clinicians, planners and QLD Health stakeholders to shape a facility that puts patient wellbeing and staff experience at the centre of the design.
It's technically demanding, genuinely rewarding, and the kind of project you'll still be talking about a decade from now.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
• Leading design development from concept through schematic design
• Working closely with QLD Health and project stakeholders to translate clinical and operational needs into design outcomes
• Coordinating with multidisciplinary consultant teams to keep the design coherent and buildable
• Applying health facility design guidelines and best-practice mental health design principles
• Producing and reviewing documentation, reports and design deliverables to a senior standard
• Mentoring and supporting junior members of the design team
WHAT YOU'LL NEED
• Registered Architect (or eligible for registration in Queensland) or plenty of local experience running these types of projects for major competitors
• Proven experience delivering health projects, ideally concept through to completion
• Experience with mental health or complex clinical facilities highly regarded
• Confidence engaging directly with government and health sector clients
• Strong technical documentation skills and an eye for detail
• A collaborative, can-do approach and genuine enthusiasm for health design
WHAT'S ON OFFER
• Salary up to $180,000 + Super (can be higher)
• A landmark QLD Health mental health project to lead from concept
• Backing of an international consultancy plus all the peaks
• A Brisbane studio with a strong, active health pipeline beyond this project
• A brief handled exclusively through Vivid, so no competing agencies and no crossed wires
